Fri Oct 04 16:35:58 UTC 2024: ## Ashok Tanwar’s Return to Congress Sparks Tensions in Haryana
**Chandigarh:** Former Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar’s return to the party has sparked tensions within the state unit, particularly with senior leader Kumari Selja. Tanwar, who recently joined the Congress after a stint with the BJP, hinted at a possible conflict with Selja, stating that the “high command doesn’t ignore anyone.”
This comes after Selja had publicly stated that the Congress high command “cannot ignore” her. She had also expressed her aspirations for the Chief Minister position, highlighting her seniority and experience.
Tanwar’s return to the Congress is seen as a strategic move by the party to strengthen its presence in Haryana, particularly ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections. He is expected to play a key role in the campaign, aiming to achieve the target of winning over 75 seats.
However, the ongoing friction between Tanwar and Selja could pose a challenge for the Congress in Haryana. The party leadership will need to address the situation and ensure that the internal conflicts do not hinder their electoral prospects.
Tanwar’s statement, coupled with Selja’s earlier remarks, indicates a power struggle within the Haryana Congress. It remains to be seen how the high command will address these tensions and navigate the upcoming elections with a united front.
