This meeting of Rajkumar Thukral and former Chief Minister Harish Rawat at the state headquarters of Uttarakhand Congress has once again heated up the market of speculation. With this meeting, the discussions about Rajkumar Thukral coming to Congress have intensified. Earlier, senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya had also met Rajkumar Thukral in Rudrapur. Since then, speculations are being made about Rajkumar Thukral joining the Congress.

Please tell that Rajkumar Thukral has been BJP MLA from Rudrapur assembly seat of Udham Singh Nagar district. However, in the 2022 assembly elections, BJP did not give ticket to Rajkumar Thukral. Thukral contested as an independent after not getting a ticket from the BJP, but was defeated by the BJP candidate. Since then, the rift between him and the BJP went on increasing instead of reducing.

At the same time, the way his proximity is increasing with the Congress leaders, after that there is a similar discussion in the political circles that he may soon join the hands of the Congress, although so far neither from any major Congress leader nor Rajkumar Thukral himself gave a statement on these speculations.
