"(Sonia Gandhi) is just between time president... (Rahul's renunciation) put party in a circumstance, thus we figured her experience will support us... There is a course of events (for appointment of new boss)," said Kumari Selja.
Haryana Congress president Kumari Selja concedes October 21 surveys are a test, denies contrasts inside state unit will damage party, safeguards Rahul Gandhi's centered assault around PM Modi before the Lok Sabha surveys and says Congress will acknowledge the Ayodhya decision, whatever it is.
Why Kumari Selja?
Designated Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee president only a month prior to the state goes to surveys (October 21), Kumari Selja has her errand removed — from taking care of the group ridden gathering and senior pioneers, for example, previous CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who has freely taken dissimilar situations on Article 370 and the NRC, to taking on the BJP, that won all the 10 seats in Haryana in the general races this year. While the Rajya Sabha MP and Congress Legislative Party part concedes she was designated the Haryana boss "somewhat late", she says the gathering is attempting to uncover the state government with "reestablished life".
MANOJ C G: Elections have been declared, and the discernment is that it's a daunting task for the Congress, both in Maharashtra and Haryana. How troublesome are these surveys for the gathering, as indicated by you?
I let it be known is a test. While we have recently lost the Lok Sabha races, I would likewise say that it doesn't generally imply that much in a popular government. For instance, in the 2009 (general decisions), we won nine out of 10 seats in Haryana. At that point, inside months, the state races were reported, where the Congress didn't do well indeed. The circumstance could, maybe, be a similar currently also on the grounds that the issues at the national and state level are altogether different. Let's be honest, each political decision is a test. This political decision is likewise a test and I got this duty just a short time prior. Be that as it may, there is work going on in the gathering, and there has been a change.
MANOJ C G: Talking of issues, senior Congress pioneer Bhupinder Singh Hooda upheld the repeal of Article 370, taking an alternate remain from the gathering, and said that 'my gathering has lost its direction'. Is it true that he was reacting to the open mind-set in the state?
The time was distinctive at that point, and now things have changed. I don't think he has explained that view since he was made the Congress Legislative Party pioneer in Haryana. Additionally, while the BJP government in Haryana is discussing Article 370, we should be cautious. Tune in to what the Chief Minister (Manohar Lal Khattar) is stating. Something that he alluded to (at a discourse after the annulment of Article 370) is that now you will have the option to get young ladies from Kashmir. Presently, if this is the manner by which they will disclose Article 370 to the individuals of Haryana, at that point it's an exceptionally sorry situation. It mirrors their outlook, the RSS's attitude. (The Haryana BJP guaranteed the announcement had been wound 'under a plan').
Also, how does Article 370 influence the basic man in Haryana? It might be a national issue… yet I think even that is behind us now. The BJP needs to respond in due order regarding things occurring on the ground. They are not discussing the issues influencing individuals of Haryana. What's more, all of a sudden, they acquire Article 370, the National Register of Citizens (NRC). This demonstrates they don't generally have a grip of the genuine ground issues.
MANOJ C G: But even on the NRC, Mr Hooda sponsored the Chief Minister's concept of actualizing it in Haryana.
I figure it might have been deciphered in an alternate manner. I figure what he may have implied is that for what reason was the NRC issue not brought up in Haryana for a long time. He may have implied that. That is a reasonable inquiry to pose to the legislature.
HARISH DAMODARAN: How quite a bit of an issue is the destruction of the Ravidas sanctuary in Delhi, in the surveys?
It resonated. It would be ideal if you comprehend the entire situation here. For the Scheduled Castes, it is a major issue. They feel that some place this administration, and the BJP, isn't generally delicate to a specific segment. The sanctuary had been there for quite a long time. There was likewise samaadhis there. On the off chance that the administration needed, they could have re-arranged that entire zone and let the sanctuary remain. They didn't do that. They may take asylum behind what the Supreme Court stated, yet they could have re-arranged it. So indeed, the move has influenced a specific segment, including the SCs of Haryana.
ANOOP PHILIP: Former state party boss Ashok Tanwar, who you supplanted, didn't go along with you in your state-wide visit. Likewise, in a hidden burrow at Hooda, he said that 'the individuals who challenged the Lok Sabha surveys this year should allow to other gathering partners'. How would you plan on handling the infighting in the Haryana Congress?
He might feel somewhat left out since the change came at last… This is the manner in which the gathering takes choices at specific occasions for specific individuals. It is a progressing thing. He might feel a few things, however that being said he hosts been dynamic for the gathering. He has been holding gatherings and he hosts been discussing the get-together.
LIZ MATHEW: What are the Congress' union plans in Haryana?
No, there is not at all like that for us. We are going performance.
LIZ MATHEW: During the Kashmir banter in Parliament, numerous Opposition heads supported Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah, your previous partners who are under house capture. For what reason is the Congress reluctant to discuss them?
I think (Ghulam Nabi) Azad sir may have spoken on that. Farooq Abdullahji is a regarded pioneer of J&K. He was likewise a partner of the BJP government prior… We have been stating that what are you going to pick up in a state by putting every single political pioneer in the slammer? From one viewpoint you state you need to reestablish commonality, and after that, then again, you dread a 80-year-elderly person, who has been your partner. What is the BJP really attempting to demonstrate? Their cases and activities are extremely opposing.
PRADEEP KAUSHAL: At an open assembly in Rohtak, Mr Hooda made a great deal of guarantees, for example, expanding maturity annuity, free transport travel office for ladies on Haryana Roadways and so on. What is the gathering's situation on it?
The gathering's position is clear. We are looking for contributions from everyone, individuals, associations… If they are serviceable, we will incorporate them in our statement. In the event that something isn't plausible, the board will investigate it. On the off chance that there are great proposals, we have no issue in taking them up.
Violate TIWARI: After Rahul Gandhi's abdication from the post of gathering president, it appeared the gathering would go through the emergency to accompany something new. In any case, the Congress Working Committee reestablished Sonia Gandhi as between time president.
It is another thing… At that direct we as a whole felt that toward hold the gathering together a senior chief like Soniaji (was required)… from the get go, she was hesitant. In any case, at that point we as a whole revealed to her that till we really choose another pioneer, her experience may profit the gathering. So she concurred distinctly to be the between time president. As of late, she held a gathering to dispatch an enrollment drive. We will likewise have a calendar for choosing another president. She is there just as a break president.
MANOJ C G: Most Congress pioneers state that the arrangement of Sonia Gandhi as the between time president was to keep the gathering joined together, that she is a binding together factor and so on. Be that as it may, what causes the gathering to accept that on the off chance that you designate some other pioneer, the gathering will break?
It wasn't only that the gathering will stay joined together. To choose another president, we have to experience a legitimate procedure. You should comprehend that it was a major change for the gathering… For the Congress president to leave… We were attempting to induce him to continue however he adhered to his promise. This put the gathering in a specific circumstance, thus we imagined that her (Sonia Gandhi's) experience will support us. So we mentioned her and she concurred. Obviously, there is a timetable (for appointment of new president)…
P VAIDYANATHAN IYER: Do you think the opportunity has arrived for the Congress to move past the Gandhi family?
In the past as well, the gathering has looked past the Gandhi family. At that point, we returned to the Gandhi family… Now we have concluded that we will go in for decisions and we will have an appropriate timetable, and that Soniaji will be the between time president. Presently, in view of the authoritative decisions, we will choose what's to come.
P VAIDYANATHAN IYER: But shouldn't something be said about fixing responsibility for the general political race misfortune, and the gathering's decrease in the states?
I consider all us are responsible — we all, at each level. You can't put the responsibility and fault on one individual.
MANOJ C G: There was a view that the 'Chowkidar chor hai' battle, and a lot of adverse individual assault on the Prime Minister, exploded backward.
You are stating this with the shrewdness of knowing the past. He (the Prime Minister) is continually assaulting the Gandhi family, beginning from (Jawahar Lal) Nehruji. There was unquestionably something going on in the Rafale arrangement, and Rahulji was discussing it. What was the damage? Furthermore, it was only something. He was likewise discussing different issues. In any case, the media simply centered around that (Rafale). Kindly remember that in the whole political decision the main individual taking on Mr Modi was Mr Rahul Gandhi.
HARISH DAMODARAN: Haryana consistently had a decent blend of agribusiness and industry. There were a ton of rice plants from Sonipat to Ambala. There were material factories. At that point, there was Gurgaon, Manesar and Jhajjar. Be that as it may, in the previous couple of years it appeared to have truly slipped. Why would that be?
Indeed, Haryana was doing well overall. Today, Haryana has the most elevated joblessness rate — 28 percent. The national normal is around 8 percent. What are they (the BJP government in the state) doing? They have no strategies, regardless of whether it's the automobile business or different ventures. Look what they have done to Maruti. The organization has cut its creation in Haryana. Every one of the helpers are enduring. We have the pressed wood industry, metal industry, the industry in Panipat from where fares would occur… In Ambala, we had the logical instruments industry. There was the IT business… They have all endured in light of the terrible strategies of the NDA government — from demonetisation to the awful usage of the Goods and Services Tax.
In the express, the (Manohar Lal) Khattar government has no arrangements for industry, joblessness, or for ranchers. Would you be able to envision, sugarcane ranchers are getting checks dated 2020. What's going on? When they state that they will give direct installment to ranchers… first they cut cash for their credits… what is the rancher getting close by? What sort of business would you say you are giving the individuals of Haryana? Out of 80 posts, 78 go to non-Haryanvis. At the lower levels, what's going on with you? Individuals with Masters' degrees, BTech graduates, are selecting Class IV occupations.
Take a gander at the medication hazard among ranchers, in the more youthful part. There is a crackdown in Punjab and Rajasthan, and the whole mafia is presently moving towards Haryana. What actions are you taking to our childhood? You diminish corporate assessment for the most extravagant individuals however in what manner will you compensate for the setback in income?… Your welfare plans will endure. It is self-evident. The entire economy will endure and when the entire economy endures, Haryana will endure.
PRADEEP KAUSHAL: You were designated the state Congress president as of late. Would it host been exceptional for the gathering to have done it, say, two years back?
I don't figure one ought to get into that. Give the previous a chance to be the past. We need to push ahead. We need to work and uncover this administration with recharged power.
Mr Hooda and I, and different pioneers, have been bridging the state. We have held 10 specialists' gatherings in each parliamentary body electorate. We have gotten enormous reaction from our laborers. The laborers possibly react on the off chance that they see change on the ground. Else, they get depressed. I am exceptionally content with the reaction. We will battle this.
Violate TIWARI: You are a CWC part too. Taking a gander at the occasions of the previous 100-150 days, it appears there is an absence of ideological intelligibility inside the Congress. Like what is the gathering's stand on Article 370? What is its methodology towards Narendra Modi? There isn't a lot of lucidity on the gathering's stand on these issues.
If you don't mind comprehend that the gathering has consistently enveloped a wide range of perspectives. Indeed, even truly, we had various wings where you could verbalize your perspectives. On the off chance that you had, state, a communist view, you could have that. On the off chance that you inclined towards the Right, you were permitted that. The Congress is such a discussion but then we are all piece of a gathering. What's more, when the CWC passes a goals, we are every one of the a piece of that as well, we acknowledge it.
P VAIDYANATHAN IYER: The patriot plan appears to have been usurped by the BJP, and your gathering doesn't appear to have a solid counter-account to it.
It couldn't be any more obvious, the BJP has consistently had a troublesome story. The Congress has consistently put stock in holding together the texture of this nation. For the BJP, the Congress turns into an undeniable objective since they just need to discuss a specific segment. The Congress gathering discusses each area — which additionally incorporates that specific segment — regardless of whether it is Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Christian, Parsi or Jain. The Congress has held the nation together. You can't make specific verifiable references, the manner in which the BJP does. All of a sudden, for one issue, you need to censure Nehru, and for another issue you need to applaud another pioneer. Where was the BJP when the nation was battling for Independence? Where was the BJP and its belief system? They were not deshbhakts or patriots. Indeed, they contradicted the Quit India development. Today, they don't have a patriot inheritance to call their own, so they need to fitting our pioneers of that time. They can extend themselves as the main patriot party on account of their publicity apparatus. I can disclose to you that lone the Congress' belief system works in this nation. The Congress as an ideological group may have lost power, however it doesn't imply that the Congress' belief system is lost in the nation. It is the genuine patriot belief system. The Congress doesn't have to rethink patriotism. The Congress is saturated with patriotism, and patriotism is saturated with the Congress belief system.
Violate TIWARI: Would you concede that the Congress has neglected to impart its secularism and its benefits to the electorate?
This ultra-Right view is a worldwide marvel today. You see it everywhere. They have had the option to extend it and, as it were, that has got them control. The Congress has not pandered to various types of perspectives just to hold control. For us, secularism incorporates everyone, Hindus as well. This is the thing that Soniaji was additionally attempting to state, that it suits the BJP to utilize their purposeful publicity to tell individuals that the Congress is for Muslims. It's a slippery publicity… The word polarization isn't to the greatest advantage of the nation. You can't push individuals in various ways just dependent on their religion. To state that the Congress is against Hindu and genius a specific segment is obtrusively off-base.
KRISHN KAUSHIK: So what is the Congress offering now?
We have to take our childhood along. We have to give them a superior future. We have to give a superior future to the individuals who are overlooked by the BJP. They are just discussing surveys and troublesome issues. The young, overlooked individuals like the SCs and STs… they merit a superior future and we will attempt to do that. We are the ones who brought the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. We are the ones who brought nourishment security. We gave these rights to the individuals since we needed everybody to develop. The BJP's troublesome motivation is essentially to occupy the consideration of the individuals from main problems. We need to take the plan and the story to where it has a place. What are they doing about the respect of ladies? Take a gander at the Chinmayanand case. What are they accomplishing for ranchers? The ranchers have never confronted such wretchedness. Take a gander at the poor execution of the MNREGA. There is no cash. These are the issues that the Congress will concentrate on. They (the BJP) have figured out how to win since they have made one issue the superseding issue… You are approached to pick sides over patriotism. It is safe to say that you are a patriot or hostile to national? Which native will consider herself or himself an enemy of national? Which native won't bolster that? The Congress has never made it out that way. You can't take sides that way.
MANOJ C G: In a month or so the Supreme Court may give its decision in the Ayodhya case. Has the Congress chosen its remain on the issue?
We have left it to the Supreme Court. Whatever the decision is, the Congress will regard it.
Haryana Congress president Kumari Selja concedes October 21 surveys are a test, denies contrasts inside state unit will damage party, safeguards Rahul Gandhi's centered assault around PM Modi before the Lok Sabha surveys and says Congress will acknowledge the Ayodhya decision, whatever it is.
Why Kumari Selja?
