Uttarakhand Congress working president Ranjit Rawat has raised questions against the candidature of former CM Harish Rawat from Nainital’s Ramnagar. The leader posted a video on social media which is going so viral in which he questioned Congress "Will you let someone else (Harish Rawat) reap the harvest of a barren land which you made fertile,” he was seen saying this.
"Someone who wants to be made the party's face for the polls, claiming people would vote in his name, would have had no problem contesting from any other seat," he added.
Harish Rawat was the former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand from 2014 to 2017. A five-time Member of Parliament, Rawat is a leader of the Indian National Congress party.
However, Bhupesh Baghel in Dehradun on Monday promised the Uttarakhand citizens that the gas prices will be reduced if his party comes into power in the state "Today we are promising in our manifesto that LPG cylinder prices will not cross Rs 500 if we form govt in Uttarakhand" said the Chhattisgarh CM and Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel in Dehradun.
