Congress senior Harish Rawat expressed dissatisfaction and hinted at pausing his ongoing Uttarakhand yatra after senior leader Kumari Selja urged him to focus on collective effort.
Harish Rawat, former chief minister of Uttarakhand and a senior Congress leader, publicly voiced grievances about internal party dynamics while conducting his outreach tour across the state.
Sources indicate that Rawat is considering a temporary halt to the yatra to address concerns raised by fellow party members. The remarks followed a meeting with veteran Congress figure Kumari Selja, who advised him to prioritize teamwork.
Selja emphasized the need for a united strategy ahead of the upcoming elections, urging Rawat to align his activities with the broader party plan. Analysts warn that any interruption could hamper Congress's mobilization efforts in the hill state before the 2024 general polls.
The state Congress unit has not released an official statement, and Rawat's next steps remain under close observation.
