Congress leader Kumari Selja said in Dehradun that the party would continue fighting for Ankita Bhandari and other daughters in Uttarakhand who have faced similar incidents.

Selja made the remarks in a video statement while speaking about the Congress’s political priorities in the state. She said, “The Congress party will fight for Ankita Bhandari and every daughter in Uttarakhand who has faced such an incident.”

Selja backs Rahul Gandhi’s position

Selja also said Rahul Gandhi had met Ankita Bhandari’s family to express solidarity. The statement did not provide details about when or where that meeting took place.

Turning to the Congress’s allegations concerning the electoral process, Selja said the “vote theft” issue raised by Rahul Gandhi had been substantiated. She referred to 2 Election Commissioners acknowledging differences with the Chief Election Commissioner.

Her remarks presented the claim as part of the wider political campaign being led by Rahul Gandhi. The statement did not provide further details about the alleged irregularities or identify the specific differences between the Election Commissioners and the CEC.

INDIA bloc to continue political campaign

Selja said the entire INDIA bloc would fight the issue under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership. She linked the campaign to the approaching elections and called for a change in Uttarakhand’s government.

Describing the state government as “incompetent”, she said it must be toppled. The remark was a political demand from the Congress leader and not an announcement of any official government or election decision.

The statement combines 2 issues for the party’s campaign: continuing to raise Ankita Bhandari’s case and challenging the government and electoral process through the INDIA bloc.

Conclusion

Kumari Selja’s Dehradun statement reaffirmed the Congress’s support for Ankita Bhandari’s family and women in Uttarakhand, while setting out the party’s broader electoral campaign under Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc.
