Uttarakhand: The situation that exists today is the same that happened in 1977… Harish Rawat said on Congress leaders joining BJP

Former Chief Minister Harish Rawat said about Congress leaders joining BJP that the situation which is there today is the same which happened in 1977. This is a year of change. On the question of contesting elections from Haridwar Lok Sabha seat, he said that I will work for whoever the Congress party gives ticket to. If my son gets a chance then it is fine. He has also been working for the party for a long time.

In a press conference held at the tehsil office, Rawat said that the state government is delivering liquor like water to every home. Drought intoxication has also reached remote villages. Spreading drugs far and wide cannot be done without administrative and political protection. Earlier Punjab was Udta Punjab, now Uttarakhand is also going on the same line. All political parties should come forward to stop the drug trade.

It is unfortunate that the budget session was not held in Gairsain due to cold

The former Chief Minister has termed it unfortunate to hold the budget session of the Assembly in Dehradun instead of Gairsain. He said that during his government, a resolution was passed in the Gairsain Assembly that every year the budget session of the Assembly would be held in Gairsain. But the BJP government of the state is holding the budget session of the Assembly in Dehradun due to cold, which is unfortunate.

Said, in most of the departments, Upanal employees have been serving for more than 7-8 years. Even in schools, work is not being done without part-time teachers. Neither their service nor their future is secure. A special one-day session of the Assembly should be called and a law should be made for the regularization of sub-servicemen. Said that in 2016, the then Congress government had regularized the sub-pipe workers. Jayendra Ramola, Rakesh Singh, Manish Sharma, Rishi Singhal, Manish Jatav etc. were present on this occasion.
