Rahul Gandhi's picture missing from Hooda's election poster

Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Kumari Selja, two senior Congress leaders of the state, used to share a frosty political relationship but now both seem to have sunk their differences to strive together to wrest power from the BJP in the October 21 Assembly polls.

With back-to-back setbacks in Haryana in Assembly and Lok Sabha polls since 2014, the Congress appointed Selja, a Dalit face, as the state unit chief and Hooda as the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) to regain its lost ground.

Since then, both have been campaigning together or in coordination in the state.
