Congress Campaign in Haryana: An Overview
The upcoming Haryana Assembly elections have stirred significant activity within the Congress party, especially with the presence of prominent leaders like Randeep Singh Surjewala and Kumari Selja. As the campaign intensifies, the Congress party is facing challenges associated with internal dynamics and the strategic direction they wish to take.
Party Dynamics and Discontent
Amidst the energetic campaigning, there have been murmurs of discontent from senior Congress leader and MP Kumari Selja. In response to these growing concerns, Randeep Singh Surjewala has emphasized that Selja remains an integral part of their strategy and is expected to play a crucial role in the Narwana region. Surjewala confidently stated that Kumari Selja will address public gatherings and provide her full support to the Congress candidate, Satbir Dablain, thereby dispelling any notion of her withdrawal from active campaigning.
Public Engagement and Campaign Plans
On social media platform X, Kumari Selja declared her commitment by announcing a schedule of 22 public meetings in Narwana, aimed at galvanizing support for the Congress party. She stated, ‘Today I will address 22 public meetings for Congress candidate Satbir Dablain in Narwana. We will hoist the flag of Congress’ victory in the entire district and Haryana.’ This fervent commitment showcases the party’s strategy to engage directly with voters and foster grassroots support in a crucial electoral battleground.
Generational Shift in Leadership Aspirations
In an interesting twist, Aditya Surjewala, the son of Randeep Singh Surjewala and Congress candidate from Kaithal, has openly expressed his desire for his father to take on the Chief Ministerial position. During an interview, he highlighted the collaborative efforts between his father and his aunt, Kumari Selja, in pushing for a Congress victory in Haryana. Aditya asserted, ‘Selja and my father are working hard to bring Congress to power in Haryana.’ His confidence in the party’s potential to secure a win is palpable, as he predicts a Congress government will emerge on the 8th of the upcoming month.
Critique of Opponents
Further addressing the political landscape, Aditya Surjewala criticized the efforts of rival parties, including the BJP, JJP, and Lok Dal. He claimed that these parties have failed to deliver on their promises, leaving the condition of cities like Kaithal deteriorating. He remarked, ‘No party has worked. Now their workers themselves say that no work has been done and the condition of the city has become bad,’ signaling a strategic pivot to focus on accountability and performance as central themes in their campaign rhetoric.
Looking Ahead
With just days to go before the elections, the Congress party appears to be consolidating its resources and leadership to present a united front. Under the guidance of leaders such as Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, they aim to revive the party’s fortunes in Haryana. As the campaign unfolds, all eyes will be on whether these efforts will resonate with the electorate and lead to the desired outcome.
