Priyanka will hold a road show in Sirsa for Kong nominee Selja on Thursday
Sirsa (Haryana): Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will hold a road show in Haryana’s Sirsa on Thursday in support of the party’s Lok Sabha candidate Kumari Selja.
Selja said the road show will start at 8.30 am from Sri Shyam Bagichi in Anaj Mandi and end at Sangwan Chowk.
She also said that the current elections are against the anti-people policies of the BJP, which has not done any development work.
“They are misleading the people by using Lord Ram’s name for votes. They are all devotees of Lord Ram. No permission is needed from BJP or RSS to take Lord Ram’s name,” she said.
The Congress leader also said that in the 10 years of BJP rule, the people of the state and Haryana were “harassed by the Centre’s anti-people policies”.
Selja, a former Haryana Congress chief, has represented Sirsa and Ambala (reserved) constituencies twice each in the Lok Sabha. She was also a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament from 2014 to 2020.
Sunita Duggal, a former Indian Income Tax (IRS) official, was the BJP’s lone “warrior” in Haryana’s 10 parliamentary seats in 2019, becoming the winner from Sirsa (reserved) by defeating her nearest rival and Congress leader Ashok Tanwar by a margin. of more than 300,000 votes.
Her victory gave the BJP its first victory in Sirsa, which used to be a stronghold of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) and the Congress.
Sunita Duggal was keen to contest this time too, but the BJP fielded Congress and AAP rebel Ashok Tanwar from the seat.
Interestingly, both Selja, who is returning to the electoral battle in Sirsa after 26 years, and Tanwar, are former presidents of the state Congress and this time there is direct competition between them.
Polling in all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana will be held on May 25.
