Veteran Congress leader Harish Rawat took gun training on his outfit while dropping a political bomb aimed at a section of party leaders ahead of the Uttarakhand assembly elections early next year. Rawat, who heads the Congress campaign committee in the state, took the Congress by surprise when he accused the organization of not supporting and cooperating with them in the election campaign.
In a detailed thread in Hindi on Twitter, Rawat said, “It is abundantly clear that we have to swim the political seas and despite cooperating strangely, in most places the organization is either not supporting (me) or playing a negative role. ,
#Election_Ruppy_SeaIsn’t it strange that the sea of choice is floating, the organizational structure for cooperation in most places, instead of extending the hand of cooperation, is either turning its back or playing a negative role. swim in the sea, 1/2 pic.twitter.com/wc4LKVi1oc— Harish Rawat (@harishrawatcmuk) December 22, 2021
In another tweet, Rawat said, “The ruling party has released many crocodiles into the political sea and they are tying my hands. That’s all my heart says, let’s take some rest. Hopefully the new year will show some light.”
The power has left many crocodiles there. To swim at the temperature, their … #Harish Rawat Now it’s time to restart! 2/3- Harish Rawat (@harishrawatcmuk) December 22, 2021
However, Rawat opted to give a cryptic reply when asked to comment on his Twitter thread. He said, “When the time comes, I’ll let you know…”
why the commotion
Voting will be held in Uttarakhand early next year. In this crucial election, the Congress reorganized a few months ago by appointing Rawat as the head of the election campaign committee and his right hand Ganesh Godiyal as the chief of the Uttarakhand Congress. Godiyal replaced Rawat’s once trusted lieutenant and now Priya Pritam Singh, who was in turn made the leader of the opposition in the state assembly. The party also appointed four working presidents to appease the lobby, but this did not help the “Clash of the Titans”.
In fact, the crack got worse. This is not the first time that Rawat has given information about the status of the state Congress unit, but the language he used was mild in comparison to his latest tweets. There are two camps in the state Congress – one led by Rawat and the other by Pritam Singh and secretary in-charge of party affairs Devendra Yadav.
Rawat’s sudden flare-up coincided with Pritam Singh’s meeting with Yadav in New Delhi on Wednesday. “Harish Rawat is a tall leader. I don’t know why he made this comment and what was the context. Only he (Rawat) can throw light on this.
‘Rawat another Amarinder Singh’
While party workers are expecting a positive result in the upcoming elections, the rift in the party’s fabric tells something else.
“Harish Rawat seemed upset seeing the end of his political innings. He will become another Amarinder Singh for the Congress,” said BJP spokesperson Suresh Joshi.
State cabinet minister Harak Singh said, ‘Harish Rawat is in deep trouble. His own men are standing against him. Why? They should ask themselves.” Harak had rebelled against the Harish Rawat-led government in 2016.
Sources said Rawat was trying to put pressure on the party high command and replace Yadav with another experienced leader in charge of party affairs.
