Congress MP Kumari Selja has expressed confidence in her chances of being considered for the position of Haryana’s Chief Minister, asserting that her party cannot ignore her. A seasoned politician, Selja has served as a Union Minister and has had a significant presence in Haryana politics. She is known for her consistent focus on the upliftment of marginalized sections, particularly the Scheduled Castes (SC) community, and has been a prominent voice for social justice.

Selja, who hails from a political family with deep roots in the state, is also a four-time Member of Parliament. She believes her experience, strong political standing, and connection with the grassroots in Haryana make her a strong contender for the CM post. In her statement, Selja acknowledged the political landscape in Haryana is competitive, but she stressed that her contributions to the Congress party and the state are substantial.

The leadership crisis within the Haryana Congress has led to speculation over potential candidates for the top position, with various factions vying for influence. Kumari Selja’s name has come up alongside other senior leaders like Bhupinder Singh Hooda. While Hooda, with his own powerful base, is considered another strong candidate, Selja’s confidence reflects her belief that she represents a vital demographic and set of values that the Congress cannot afford to overlook.
In a political landscape marked by complex caste equations and regional loyalties, Selja’s prominence in the SC community and her longstanding work within the Congress might work in her favor. As Haryana moves closer to elections, her candidacy will be a topic of intense discussion.
