In the Haryana assembly elections, the command of the Congress is in the hands of Bhupinder Singh Hooda camp. It is being said that the party high command has distributed 72 out of 90 tickets on the behest of Hooda and he has also been given the command of the campaign. But in the meantime, the insult of Dalit leader Kumari Selja has been made an issue by parties like BJP and BSP. Kumari Selja considers herself a contender for the post of CM and wanted to contest the assembly elections. She was asking for a ticket from Uklana seat, but the party refused to give her a chance. Not only this, the ticket from here was also given directly to Hooda camp leader Naresh Selwal instead of someone close to her.
Kumari Selja was angry with this and has not gone out for campaigning till now. Meanwhile, when BJP and BSP made Kumari Selja’s anger an issue and accused her of insult, Congress started worrying about losing Dalit votes. Congress sources say that Rahul Gandhi has directly spoken to Kumari Selja. After this, Kumari Selja’s attitude has changed. Not only this, on Tuesday she also went to meet Mallikarjun Kharge. Now the news is that she will go out for campaigning from Thursday and will directly share the stage with Rahul Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi is going to hold a rally in Karnal’s Assandh seat. Shamsher Singh Gogi of Selja camp is contesting from this seat and Rahul Gandhi is coming to campaign for him. Apart from this, Kumari Selja will also campaign for Paramveer Singh, candidate from Tohana and will also contest for Ram Niwas Rara in Hisab. In this way she will campaign for her supporters. But the important thing is that she will start the campaign with a rally with Rahul Gandhi. By this she has indicated that the high command is with her and their pressure is also showing results.
On casteist remarks, Selja said- see how people have got tickets
Let us tell you that BJP and BSP supremo Mayawati had said that Congress has insulted Kumari Selja. Congress did not give importance to a Dalit leader. The matter worsened when a leader of Hooda camp made a controversial and casteist remark about her in Narnaund. On this too, when Selja was asked that you people should see how the people who have got the tickets are. She said that my struggle is not just for myself but for the 36 communities of Haryana.
