During her media address in Fatehabad, Kumari Selja talked about the recent confrontation in Parliament, where Congress MPs were allegedly pushed by BJP members during a peaceful protest near Dr. Ambedkar's statue. She expressed particular concern over the FIR filed against Rahul Gandhi, describing it as "the thief scolding the constable." The incident reflects BJP's disrespect for democratic norms and the directions of the Speaker. 

Farmers' Issues and Broken Promises

MP Kumari Selja highlighted the current government's failure to address farmers' concerns, particularly regarding the legal status of Minimum Support Price (MSP) promised two years ago. She pointed out that farmers are now forced to resort to indefinite hunger strikes while the government remains unresponsive. She also confonted the issue of private seed companies exploiting farmers and the lack of governmental control over them.

State Development and Economic Concerns

Selja presented a critical analysis of BJP's decade-long governance, pointing to several unfulfilled promises:

  • Incomplete medical college project in Sirsa despite multiple inaugurations
  • Unresolved Ghaggar River pollution
  • Delayed Gorakhpur nuclear plant
  • Long queues in government offices indicating administrative inefficiency
  • The stark statistic that 70% of Haryana's population lives below the poverty line 

Constitutional Values and Social Harmony

The Congress leader accused BJP of practicing divisive politics based on religion and caste, creating societal unrest. She criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah's comments about Dr. Ambedkar as disrespectful and announced Congress's plans to launch a grassroots campaign to expose what she termed as BJP's "anti-constitutional and anti-people face."
