Kumari Selja Stakes Claim for Haryana CM Amidst Political Speculation

Kumari Selja, Congress Rajya Sabha MP, asserts her candidacy for Haryana CM as the Congress eyes a possible win. Despite BJP rumors, Selja remains steadfast with the Congress, emphasizing her seniority and dedication. Haryana elections loom with polls on October 5 and results on October 8.

Congress Rajya Sabha MP Kumari Selja has made her intentions clear regarding the potential choice for Haryana's Chief Minister if the party secures victory. Selja emphasized that, while the Congress high command will make the final decision, her seniority and track record should not be overlooked.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, Selja affirmed her credentials, asserting that her political experience and contributions put her as a credible contender. She remarked, 'The high command will make the decision, but my seniority and work speak volumes, making it difficult for them to disregard my candidacy.'

Amidst ongoing speculation of her potential switch to the Bharatiya Janata Party, Selja categorically denied such claims. She expressed full confidence in the Congress's current standing, citing recent efforts by Rahul Gandhi and other leaders to strengthen their position ahead of the October 5 elections for Haryana's 90-member legislative assembly.
