Congress has called Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat to Delhi, citing concerns over his planned solo yatra. The party seeks clarification before the rally proceeds.
Harish Rawat, the chief minister of Uttarakhand and a senior Congress leader, was summoned to the party's headquarters in Delhi on Thursday. Party officials said the meeting is intended to address internal concerns about Rawat's proposed solo yatra across the state, which some members fear could affect the party's coordination ahead of upcoming elections.
Congress sources indicated that the leadership wants to ensure the rally aligns with the broader party strategy and does not create factional rifts. Rawat is expected to brief senior officials on the itinerary, objectives and security arrangements before receiving clearance to proceed.
The summons comes at a time when the Congress is recalibrating its campaign in several northern states. While the party has not ruled out the yatra, it emphasized the need for collective decision‑making and adherence to the party's code of conduct.
Rawat has not yet commented publicly on the Delhi meeting. The party has asked the media to await an official statement after the discussions conclude.
