Uttarakhand: Campaigning intensifies for Kedarnath by-election, both Congress and BJP are seeking support from the public for victory
Senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Harish Rawat is campaigning vigorously in the Kedarnath by-election. On Sunday, Harish Rawat addressed a public meeting in Bawai, the biggest village of Kedarnath assembly. A large number of women reached the public meeting and listened to Harish Rawat. Harish Rawat also sought support from the women power to make Congress candidate Manoj Rawat win.
In his address, he saluted the Tallanagpur region and said that this region has given great talents to this country. This land gave birth to a person like BS Negi, who was the first chairman of a big company of the country like ONGC. He said that at this time Tallanagpur’s son Manoj Rawat is in the electoral fray and you must give him your blessings.
Harish Rawat said that the public has given everything to the BJP. Along with making them win the assembly elections, they also made them win the Lok Sabha elections. But now the BJP is chewing the common people. He urged that this time by making Manoj Rawat win, work to strengthen the Congress.
He told that Manoj Rawat, son of Tallanagpur, was the first person who fought for strong land laws. Fought against the government against the Devasthanam Board. Fought against those who stole gold in Kedarnath. In such a situation, you must make this son of the soil win this election this time.
Harish Rawat said that when the Congress government was in power, Manoj Rawat had made arrangements for pension for every section. But the BJP government has stopped all pensions. He promised that when our government comes, we will start these pensions again. Not only this, we will also increase the amount given in it.
