The Congress party has made it clear that its sitting Members of Parliament (MPs) from Haryana will not be contesting in the upcoming Assembly elections. This decision has put an end to any hopes held by senior MP Kumari Selja, who had previously expressed her desire to run for the state assembly. Congress in-charge of Haryana, Deepak Babaria, reiterated that no sitting MPs will be given the go-ahead to compete, amidst reports of Selja and Randeep Surjewala being potential candidates. This announcement also seemingly puts to rest the speculation of another senior leader, Hooda’s son, being fielded as a candidate.
