The viral video of State President Karan Mahara during Congress’s Swabhiman Nyaya Yatra regarding the murder of a female employee of Vanantara Resort in Kotdwar has heated up the politics of the state. Regarding this video of the appeal of Garhwal Mandal residents in the murder case, Mahara said that it has been tampered. At the same time, the State Congress Disciplinary Committee has sent a notice to State General Secretary Rajendra Shah in this matter. The Congress is continuously making the issue of the murder of a female employee of Vanantara Resort under Yamkeshwar assembly constituency of Pauri district. A special campaign has been launched in Pauri Lok Sabha constituency regarding this. Under this, Swabhiman Nyay Yatra was taken out in Kotdwar on behalf of the main opposition party.
On this occasion, State Congress President Karan Mahara said in the public meeting that the daughter of Garhwal region had died. He alleged that the evidence of VIPs was destroyed at Vanantara Resort. He said why the people of the area have fallen asleep. His blood has turned to water. He also taunted by giving the example of the world. He said that it was expected that people would join the yatra with their utensils and children, but it did not happen. This video has been shared from the Twitter handle of State BJP…

Now the virality of this video is also being linked to the internal tussle of the Congress. State Congress President Karan Mahara said that the video has been edited. Somebody has tampered with it for wrong purpose. There has been a change with his words. He tried to wake up the citizens from their slumber by mentioning the personalities of Garhwal. His expressions regarding spitting were misrepresented. A person of deranged mentality did such an act. On the other hand, a notice has been issued by the State Congress Disciplinary Committee to State Congress General Secretary Rajendra Shah in this matter. He has been summoned on August 2 and asked to explain the viral video. According to the information, the video was first uploaded by Congress General Secretary Rajendra Shah on his Facebook account. But after some time the video was deleted. Due to this, BJP got the issue while sitting.
BJP said apologize
The BJP has demanded an apology from Karan Mahara to the people of Garhwal on the basis of this video of the Congress state president. BJP says that in the video Congress state president Karan Mahara has spoken abusive words for the people of Garhwal. However, Mahara in his clarification has described this video as edited. Karan Mahara said that he had given a speech at the conclusion of Congress’s Swabhiman Nyay Yatra at Kotdwar in Pauri Garhwal. Around 2000 people were present during his speech that day. The video is a small part of the same speech.
Politics has intensified on Karan Mahara’s viral video. BJP state spokesperson and MLA Khajan Das has demanded a public apology accusing Karan Mahara of insulting the people of Garhwal. On the other hand, former Congress state president Ganesh Godial has come out in support of Mahara. He strongly objected to Mahara’s video being made viral on the BJP by distorting it and lashed out at the BJP. He said that BJP does politics of communalism, far away from developmental politics. The BJP, which is in power in the state and the country, wants to strengthen its hold in Uttarakhand by spreading the talk of regional narrowness.
