We found press reports that Selja Kumari denied Khattar’s offer to join the BJP. In an exclusive interview at the ‘Panchayat AajTak Haryana 2024’ event hosted by the India Today Group on September 23, she added,

“BJP leaders should refrain from giving me advice. Congress runs through my veins, just as my father passed away wrapped in the Tricolor. I, too, will go wrapped in that same Tricolor one day.”

Speaking about the internal dynamics of the Congress party at the AajTak event, she emphasised that there is no dissatisfaction within the ranks, but rather, some internal matters that are being resolved as the party continues to move forward.

The viral image of Bhupinder Hooda and Selja Kumari that has been spreading online amid her apparent absence from Haryana election campaigns is misleading. Hooda originally shared the image in 2019 to wish Selja Kumari a happy birthday, and it has no relevance to the current campaign.
