Taking on the Centre, Selja said that the Modi government has no agenda for the development of the nation.
"The government is talking about NRC and Article 370 abrogation. For them, abrogation of Article 370 means bringing Kashmiri brides to rest of India as Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar himself said," she said.
The Congress leader added that the ruling BJP in the state only diverted people's attention in the past five years.
Congress leaders Kiran Chaudary, who head the manifesto committee, Ashok Arora, JP Singh, Kuldeep Sharma and other members were present at the meeting, with former state Congress chief Ashok Tanwar being the only absentee.
Elections for 90-member Haryana Assembly will be held on October 21. The votes will be counted on October 24.
