Chandigarh, July 25 (HS). Sirsa MP and Congress National General Secretary Kumari Selja is going to start the Congress Sandesh Yatra in Haryana from July 27. The yatra will start from Ambala. The poster released on Thursday before the yatra has exposed the factionalism in the party.

A faction of Congress led by Leader of Opposition in Haryana Assembly Bhupendra Singh Hooda is cornering the government by organising programs called 'Hibaa Maange'. Meanwhile, Kumari Selja is also coming into the field from Saturday. Selja had also taken out a yatra in some parts of Haryana before the Lok Sabha elections. Congress in-charge Deepak Babaria had earlier called Selja's yatra her personal yatra but later issued a letter declaring it a Congress program.

This time, through the yatra, Selja's entire focus will be on urban voters, because this yatra will pass through the urban areas of Haryana. The format of the poster released by Kumari Selja on Thursday has changed. In this poster, Kumari Selja has put the photos of Randeep Surjewala and Chaudhary Birendra Singh around her. Apart from this, Rahul Gandhi and Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge have been given a prominent place in the poster. Apart from Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar, photos of Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and KC Venugopal have been put on the poster.

The photos of Congress' Haryana in-charge Deepak Babaria, Congress state president Udaybhan and Leader of Opposition Bhupendra Singh Hooda are missing from this poster. As soon as this poster was released, discussions have started on social media and in the Hooda camp about Selja's visit and the counter attack from the Hooda faction. Now it remains to be seen whether the Congress in-charge calls Kumari Selja's programs as official programs of the Congress or whether he keeps a distance from these programs.
