The former Uttarakhand CM, AICC general secretary and the in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat is contemplating to give up responsibility as Punjab In-charge in view of the fast approaching Uttrakhand assembly elections due for 2022 during the initial months. Harish Rawat wants to concentrate in Uttarakhand and is manipulating to be declared as the Congress Party’s prospective chief minister candidate prior to the Uttarakhand assembly elections the demand raised by him earlier having been outrightly rejected by the party high command’s observer to the hilly state Devendra Yadav as the present Congress chief of Uttarakhand Pritam Singh and veteran Congress leader n leader of opposition in state assembly Indira Hridayesh have cobbled together to oppose Rawat being declared as the prospective CM candidate. Kindly recall that few months ago Harish Rawat had raised a voice for declaring a prospective CM’s name prior to the assembly election so that the entire state Congress’s rank and file activates itself and pool all efforts cumulatively to defeat the ruling BJP but his demand was crushed by his opponents within the party. However, despite the opposition of his detractors within the Congress in Uttarakhand including the former Pradesh Congress president Kishore Upadhyay who had accused Rawat for creating obstacles in his way become the RS MP earlier, bringing Pradeep Tamta victorious in his place, Harish Rawat is still hopeful of his name being projected as the next Congress CM of the state. There are reports of Harish Rawat meeting both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi shortly to request them to get him rid of the Punjab state responsibility in view of the fast approaching assembly elections in Uttarakhand as his involvement in his own home state preparations utmostly essential. More over, the anti incumbency against the ruling BJP especially in view of the tremendous spike in Covid 19 cases n subsequent fatalities have disenchanted the majority of electorates of the state who seem to be fully prepared to teach the saffron party a befitting lesson in the forthcoming assembly elections. This anti BJP trend in Uttarakhand gives extra morale boosting to leaders like Harish Rawat to stake claim as CM in the next assembly elections in Uttarakhand with his bete noires present n former presidents Vic Pritam Singh Chauhan, Kishore Upadhyay n veteran Congress leader Indira Hridayesh hell bent upon opposing him trying their best to keep their former CM in dock in the near future. Harish Rawat who is fed up with the ongoing feud in the Punjab Congress affairs between Chief Minister Amrinder Singh and former skipper Navjyot Singh Sidhu between whom he had tried his best to formalise a patch up earlier, that could not materialise fully, feels Punjab crisis also one of the prime reasons for his decision to get rid of incharge ship of this warring state say political analysts. His priority to concentrate in Uttarakhand is of paramount significance than any other work, even if it means getting rid of Punjab’s responsibility reveal sources. It may be recalled that Harish Rawat had been extremely active in Uttarakhand politics n among the masses by way of participating in Dharnas, demonstrations, hunger strikes and public as well as corner meetings with regard to raising voice on burning issues of peoples’ concern including hosting parties of delicious indigenous foods, fruits n dishes in various parts of Uttarakhand enticing his supporters from cross section of the society earning their positive support n blessings. His detractors are envy of his manipulative tricks at the age of seventy one.
