Bajrang Punia News: Wrestler-turned-politician Bajrang Punia took over as the working president of Kisan Congress on Tuesday (22 October). Congress MP Kumari Selja and former Union Minister Birendra Singh were also present on this occasion.
However, the thing to note is that no one from Bhupendra Singh Hooda family was present at this time. After this, questions are being raised whether any new equation is being formed in Haryana Congress.
What did Bajrang Punia say?
Bajrang Punia was appointed the working president of Kisan Congress on the very day of joining Congress during Haryana elections. His colleague and veteran player Vinesh Phogat was given ticket by Congress from Julana and she won.
After assuming office, Bajrang Punia said in a special conversation with ABP News that farmers are being tortured across the country and our fight is against it.

On the absence of former CM Bhupendra Singh Hooda and his MP son Deependra Singh Hooda, he said that Hooda is our leader and will continue to work closely with him. Whatever other matters are being looked after by the top leadership of the party.
Let us tell you that Congress has suffered a big setback in the Haryana Assembly elections. The party was hopeful that it would return to power after 10 years, however, BJP achieved the biggest victory in history in Haryana.
Discussion of factionalism after Congress's defeat
Factionalism is also being considered a major reason for the defeat of Congress. In fact, the entire election was conducted under the supervision of Bhupendra Singh Hooda and he got maximum tickets for his supporting leaders. Angered by this, Dalit leader Kumari Selja stayed away from campaigning for several days. However, after the intervention of the high command, she started campaigning.
BJP made this factionalism a big issue. Sources said that after the defeat of Congress, Rahul Gandhi expressed his displeasure over factionalism in the review meeting. Now Kumari Selja and Bhupendra Singh Hooda's old rival Birendra Singh are seen together.
