Sirsa MP Kumari Selja, absent from the Congress campaign for the Haryana Assembly polls, has been invited by ex-CM Manohar Lal Khattar to join the BJP. Khattar criticized Congress for allegedly disrespecting Selja, a prominent Dalit leader. In response, Congress Rajya Sabha MP Pramod Tiwari called her a “dedicated soldier” of the party and suggested the BJP lacks voter support.
