She commended Gujarat, this year’s partner state, for its distinguished artistic traditions and lauded the North-Eastern Handicrafts and Handlooms Development Corporation for its role as the cultural partner.

President Murmu also praised artisans for preserving India’s artistic legacy, noting their craftsmanship in sculpting, painting, metalwork, and textile weaving. “These artisans breathe life into clay, stone, and fabric, keeping our civilization’s heritage alive,” she remarked.

Highlighting global cultural ties, she welcomed Tanzania as the partner nation for this year’s Mela. She expressed delight at the opportunity to experience Tanzanian dance, music, and cuisine, which bear traces of Indian influence due to centuries of historical ties. She also underscored that Tanzania’s participation reflects India’s deepening engagement with the African Union.

According to information received from Srinagar and Chandigarh, there is tight security around the counting centers. Also, adequate security measures have been taken at all sensitive places and generally in the whole of Jammu and Kashmir.

Assembly elections have been held in Jammu and Kashmir after 10 years. Voting for 90 assembly seats was held in three phases on September 18, September 25 and October 1. Officials said that three-tier security arrangements have been made around all the counting centers. Apart from the staff involved in the counting, only authorized agents of the candidates are allowed to enter the counting center.

Overall 63.88 percent voting was held in 90 assembly seats of Jammu and Kashmir. At the same time, a total of 67.90 percent voting took place in 90 seats of Haryana.

Bhupendra Singh Hooda thanked the people of Haryana for voting peacefully. He said that the exit poll trends have come yesterday, but I had already said that the Congress government is going to be formed in the state with a huge majority.

He said that the people of the state saw the Congress government between 2004 and 2014 and then also saw the BJP and JJP government from 2014 to 2024 and found that the state which was number one in terms of per capita income, law and order, giving jobs to sportspersons in 2014, became number one in unemployment, inflation during the BJP era and the law and order of the state completely collapsed.

On the claim of Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini that the BJP government will be formed in the state once again, the Congress leader said that his is a shop of lies. On the statement of former Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala that he will have the key to power, Bhupendra Hooda said that on October 8 it will be known who will have the key.

The Congress leader said that the Congress party remained active for the entire 10 years and played the role of opposition well. On the claim of other Congress leaders for the post of Chief Minister, he said that it is a democracy, it is a good thing to have a claim. The Congress’s method has been to ask the MLAs and the rest will be decided by the high command.

Let us tell you that voting for all 90 assembly seats in Haryana was completed on October 5. In the exit poll trends after voting, the main opposition party of the state, Congress, is seen gaining lead, while BJP is seen getting fewer seats. However, the election results will be out only after the counting of votes on October 8.

While addressing the media during this, Kumari Selja said that this crowd shows that this time the Congress government is going to be formed in Haryana. We are getting support from the public and we are going to form the government with full majority. I hope that this area will get a share in the formation of the new government, so that development work can be done at a fast pace.

She further said that the central government is misusing the central investigation agencies. The court has also made serious comments on this. This government is working with a spirit of political vengeance. It is bent on eliminating all constitutional institutions. I believe that the graph of Congress is rising state by state. We are going to return to power with strength.

There was a stir in the Congress during the Haryana assembly elections when it was said that senior Congress leader Kumari Selja is going to join BJP. After this, a clarification also came from her side.

Regarding not contesting the assembly elections in Haryana, the Congress leader had said, “The party has to decide who will contest the elections and who will not. I wanted to contest the elections, which I had told a long time ago. But, in between the Lok Sabha elections came and we won it. The decision of the high command regarding the assembly elections was accepted.”

Voting for all 90 assembly seats in Haryana is to be held on October 5. The results will be out on October 8.

The post Congress will form government with full majority in Haryana, investigation agencies are being misused: Kumari Selja appeared first on Janmat Samachar.

Recently, the Supreme Court granted bail to Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal with some conditions in the so-called liquor policy scam case. A few days ago, another veteran leader of the party Manish Sisodia also got bail. Arvind Kejriwal took many big steps as soon as he came out of jail. Resigning from the post of Chief Minister of Delhi and doing a grand road show in the electoral state Haryana were part of the same electoral step. During the road show on September 20, Kejriwal made such a statement, which has become a topic of discussion among all the political parties contesting elections in Haryana.

In fact, Arvind Kejriwal started his election campaign by doing a road show in Haryana on Friday. During this, he said that no government will be formed in the state without the ‘Aam Aadmi Party’. Due to the bail granted to two big leaders of the party from jail, there was already enthusiasm and excitement among the ‘AAP’ workers, while this statement of his has added fuel to the enthusiasm of the party supporters.

While till a few days ago, there were speculations about the alliance of ‘AAP’ with Congress, now it has become clear that both the parties will contest the elections separately here. No government will be formed in Haryana without the support of ‘AAP’, many meanings are being drawn from this statement of Kejriwal.

The first meaning of Kejriwal’s statement is that the ruling party ‘AAP’ of the national capital Delhi and Punjab is now very serious about its expansion in the third state Haryana. However, the party’s performance was quite disappointing last time and it got less than one percent votes in the 2019 assembly elections, but if this time the party manages to increase its vote percentage and increases it to four to five percent and manages to win seven to eight seats, then the party will come into the role of kingmaker in the state with 90 assembly seats.

Any party needs 46 seats for majority in Haryana and in such a situation, if a third party gets five or more seats, then it can play a very important role in toppling or forming a government. However, the strategy of Aam Aadmi Party regarding Haryana clearly shows that the party is vocal against BJP and Prime Minister Modi, while it is silent about Congress. On the other hand, in the alliance formed for the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, Congress and AAP were part of the same opposition alliance India. In such a situation, there is still a strong possibility of both the parties coming together after the election results.
