Uttarakhand: Discord continues in the Congress over the electoral debacle of 2022, former CM Harish Rawat expressed pain-e-dil- said, every time my own head was blamed for defeat, why I am held responsible

Former CM Harish Rawat, annoyed by being blamed for the defeat in the assembly elections, also took a slight stance. According to Rawat, where I was an MP, the Congress gave a tough fight. The Congress candidates whose names are associated with me also chewed iron gram to the BJP. But is this the situation in the whole state? I will be ready to discuss the matter on the party forum. Rawat’s indirect target is on former Leader of Opposition Pritam Singh Camp. Pritam Camp has often expressed the opinion that Rawat’s style of functioning was responsible for the defeat in the elections.

Rawat’s latest statement has created a stir in the Congress, which has been quiet for a long time over factionalism, defeat in the Vis elections. Rawat said on social media today that, many of my good friends think that if Harish Rawat was not there, he would not have known what wealth and position in the world. Even when those people are going for marriage, they say only one thing among the people that Harish Rawat has defeated the party. Otherwise the Congress government would have been formed in the state. Rawat said that such people must be asked which Congress candidate they won in this election? And what is the opinion of the Congress candidate from his home constituency about him? Did they work to win or defeat him? Rawat said that he was MP from Almora and Haridwar. Contested the election of MP from USnagar. The Congress has given a tough fight to the BJP in all the three parliamentary constituencies.

Where elections have been lost, they have lost relatively well. The Congress candidates with whom my name is associated across the state have also put up a good fight in the elections. Is this the same situation across the state? Then why blame me? I will look forward to talking about it in any forum of the party.
