Sacked Uttarakhand BJP Minister Harak Singh Rawat joins Congress

A month ahead of Assembly Polls, expelled Bharatiya Janata Party leader Harak Singh Rawat has rejoined his old party Congress on Friday in the presence of former Chief Minister Harish Rawat.

Harak Singh Rawat was dismissed from the Uttarakhand Cabinet and expelled from the BJP on Monday for “anti-party activities”. Earlier speaking to ANI Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami had said, “He (Harak Singh Rawat) was given due respect till the time he was with us…When reports (of Harak Singh Rawat joining Congress) emerged…The party took the decision (to expel him). We have taken our call…Now it’s up to the Congress to take a decision.”

Harish Rawat’s son Virender Rawat on Friday welcomed the induction of expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Harak Singh Rawat and his daughter-in-law in to the Congress and hoped that both will help strengthen the party.

“It is a matter of happiness that our family is expanding. Congress will form government in Uttarakhand under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership in 2022. There is a rush in BJP and today you have seen the result that one former minister and former MLA joined the Congress. I welcome their joining and hope they will strengthen the party,” Virender told ANI here. As Congress’ central election committee meeting is going on, Virender expects the party to declare all the candidates for the upcoming polls by tonight.
