Although the Congress, unlike in 2019, gave the former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda a free hand in finalising majority candidates and formulating election strategy, another heavyweight and Dalit leader from Haryana Kumari Selja has thrown her hat in the ring, queering the pitch for the Jat stalwart.

Hooda on the other hand in his latest remarks has said that the MLAs' opinion will be taken and the final decision of the central leadership will be acceptable to all.
