Uttarakhand : Congress disillusioned with Garhwal, President, Leader of Opposition and Deputy Leader of Opposition from all three Kumaon

After getting the crushing defeat in the 2022 assembly elections, there was a huge difference of opinion in the Uttarakhand Congress, then after this crushing defeat in the same assembly elections, the competition to break each other’s head was clearly visible. After this the series of resignations also started. The Congress central leadership demanded the resignation of the state presidents of the states where the party has lost, in which Ganesh Godiyal, who was on the post of state president from Uttarakhand, also tendered his resignation. In Uttarakhand, after the resignation of Congress state president Ganesh Godiyal, the state executive was completely dissolved.

On the other hand, after a crushing defeat in the assembly elections, where the number of Congress MLAs had increased from 11 to 19 and the Congress had reached the assembly as a big opposition, but due to the lack of selection of Leader of Opposition and Deputy Leader of Opposition, the entire assembly. In the session, the Congress was sitting in the opposition without its leader, in such a situation, the question was being asked to the Congress for a long time that after the defeat, when it is not able to elect its leaders, then how can they be trusted if there was victory. Maybe he would have formed the most successful government. In such a situation, where the Congress was constantly facing criticism, the list of new office bearers of the Congress was released late on Sunday evening.

Congress ignored Garhwal

In the list of Congress released late Sunday evening, Karan Mehra, a former Ranikhet MLA, has been given the responsibility as the state president. Apart from this, the responsibility of Leader of Opposition in the House has been given to senior Congress leader Yashpal Arya and Deputy Leader of Opposition has been given to Bhuvan Kapri, who defeated Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami from Khatima. After this decision of Congress, while there is an atmosphere of enthusiasm among the common workers of Congress, on the other hand there are also discussions in the political circles that Congress has completely ignored Garhwal. None of these three posts of Congress has been given in the Garhwal division, whereas the Congress in the opposition has got 8 seats out of 19 from the Garhwal region itself. In such a situation, the question is also being asked whether there is no big leader of Congress in Garhwal region or whether the Congress is getting disillusioned with Garhwal Mandal.
