Why did Manohar Lal Khattar give the offer to Selja?
Kumari Selja was not seen on the stage even during the release of the Congress manifesto, after which BJP is trying to fuel the news of her displeasure and now big BJP leaders are inviting her to join the party. Questions are being raised that why is BJP making an offer to Selja?
Amidst the news of displeasure in Haryana Congress, BJP is looking for options for sabotage. It is trying to give a big blow to Haryana Congress as soon as it gets a chance. Such news has been coming for the last few days that there is turmoil in the Congress in Haryana politics. It is being discussed that senior Dalit leader, 5-time MP and former Union Minister Kumari Selja is angry.
Sources are telling that Selja is playing political tricks by sensing the displeasure of the high command. Captain Ajay Chaudhary, close to Kumari Selja, did not get the ticket. Hooda had the last say in ticket distribution, so in a conversation with TV9, Selja accepted it but said that, the one who was Bhajanlal in 2004, is Hooda today, the high command will take the decision.
The biggest offer to Kumari Selja was given by former Haryana CM and current Union Minister Manohar Lal. He said that Kumari Selja has been insulted in the Congress, if she wants, she can join the BJP, she is welcome. This offer was discussed so much that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge himself had to say, BJP should first look at its own house, from where many leaders have left.
There is no doubt that Kumari Selja wants to become the CM of Haryana. In a conversation with TV9, she had said that she wants to become the CM of Haryana, but the inside story of Haryana Congress is that Bhupendra Singh Hooda's camp dominates the entire state. Even state president Udaybhan is from Hooda's camp, while Kumari Selja has also said many times from public platforms that she is also in the race for CM and wants to become CM.
The problem is that most of the MLAs are in Bhupendra Singh Hooda's camp, while the number of MLAs in Kumari Selja's camp is not as much as is required for the post of CM. Kumari Selja hopes that being a Dalit face, the party can make her the CM's chair to promote a Dalit face on the lines of Punjab, as was done in Punjab by making Charanjit Singh Channi the CM.
