Congress General Secretary Kumari Selja said on Thursday that if her party wins the Haryana Assembly elections, the high command will decide the chief minister and this decision will be acceptable to everyone. She also said that she was never away from her party and can never be. Kumari Selja started campaigning after two weeks.
The Congress leader said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has no issue in the Haryana assembly elections and it will have to answer for its 10 years of misrule. Selja also said that there is a system in the Congress for the election of the chief minister and it will be followed in Haryana too.
The former Union minister on Thursday joined the election campaign after nearly two weeks. She was seen on the election stage in Assandh in Karnal with Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and state Congress Committee president Uday Bhan were also present on the stage.
When asked about BJP’s allegations regarding speculation of her displeasure, Selja told PTI video, “BJP has no issue. They look towards Congress to get them an issue. Congress is not going to give them an issue. He has to answer for 10 years of misrule.” She said, ”As for me, I was never away from Congress and can never be.”
When asked about her claim for the post of Chief Minister, Selja said, ”The decision of the Chief Minister is always taken by the high command. There is a meeting of the newly elected MLAs in which a one-line resolution is passed that the high command is authorized to choose the Chief Minister. The final decision is of the high command.” She said that the decision of the Chief Minister will be acceptable to everyone.
