But, due to the tussle and factionalism within the party regarding the candidate, the election edge of the Congress seems to be blunted. However, a survey was conducted by the party in Kedarnath assembly for a winning candidate. The report of which has been received by state Congress president Karan Mahara. Now the observers appointed by the party will hold meetings and know the opinion of the officials and workers.

Mahara gets another jolt due to interference of state in-charge

State Congress president Karan Mahara appointed MLA Bhuvan Kapri and Virendra Jati as observers for Kedarnath by-election. On the second day itself, state in-charge Selja Kumari issued orders to appoint Ganesh Godiyal and Lakhpat Butola as observers. No discussion was held with the state president in this regard. Earlier, Mahara had appointed district presidents for Lok Sabha elections and Badrinath, Mangalore by-elections. State in-charge cancelled these appointments.
