Selja may get RS berth
Former union minister Kumari Selja, who last week made way for Udai Bhan, a loyalist of former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, by stepping down as Haryana Congress president, is likely to be accommodated in the Rajya Sabha by the Congress. Two of the five Upper House seats from Haryana will fall vacant on August 1 with media baron Subhash Chandra, who was elected with the BJP’S support and Delhi-based BJP leader Dushyant Gautam getting retired. Going by the numbers in the state assembly, the BJP will wrest one seat while the other will be picked by the Congress.
