In its appointment of 32 district presidents, Congress signalled a shift from its traditional Jat-centric voter base to build more inclusive caste coalition to challenge BJP.
There were sceptics who flagged against going all out with Hoodas & to reach out to his rival & Dalit leader Kumari Selja. But all such doubts were cast aside in run-up to polls.
Selja did not attend the Wednesday launch of the party manifesto and has lately not been campaigning on the ground. Her silence could negatively impact party's electoral chances.
Daughter of former Union minister, late Chaudhary Dalbir Singh, Kumari Selja ventured into politics with a byelection in 1988. She won Sirsa seat in the 1991 and 1996 Lok Sabha elections.
In an interview with ThePrint, Congress's Sirsa candidate calls electoral bonds India's 'biggest scam so far'. Any decision on CM candidature to be taken by high command, she says.
Selja launched ‘Congress Sandesh Yatra’ in Hisar two days after Hooda kicked off ‘Ghar Ghar Congress’ from Jind. Both claim to be promoting message of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.
Rival groups within Haryana Congress have been clashing ever since party-appointed coordinators started meeting workers to record their preference for district chiefs & office bearers.
1st hearing of Sandeep Singh’s bail plea was held Tuesday & case is now listed for 13 September.
Congress MP Kumari Selja has asked CM Khattar if he will still not seek Singh's resignation.
22 of the 31 Haryana Haryana Congress MLAs landed in Delhi Monday to demand a change of guard in the state unit and a bigger role for 'mass leader' Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
Haryana Congress chief Kumari Selja also said suspension of internet in various districts to deter farmer mobilisation shows BJP-JJP govt has 'begun to panic'.
Thanks to Trump’s sudden decision to target India rather than any other country with massive tariffs, many things that ought to have been done earlier are now falling into place.
As devastated farmers begin to come to terms with the fallout, 4 lakh hectares of land under paddy cultivation across state is flooded. Punjab is among the biggest contributors to PDS.
Of the 40 Tejas Mk-1 aircraft ordered—comprising 16 IOC single-seaters, 16 FOC single-seaters & 8 twin-seat trainers—IAF has received 38 with two trainers yet to be delivered.
In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
