Harish Rawat summoned to Delhi amid Congress dispute

Overview

Internal friction within the Uttarakhand Congress has escalated following former Chief Minister Harish Rawat’s proposal of the ‘Dhanyawad evam Jan Samvad Yatra’. Uttarakhand Congress in-charge Kumari Selja issued a letter to Rawat objecting to the march, stating it was organized without prior discussion with her or the Pradesh Congress Committee president. Selja emphasized that “parallel programs are not in the party’s interest” and stressed the necessity of unity ahead of the upcoming state Assembly elections.

In response to this dispute, Congress General Secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal has summoned Rawat to Delhi to discuss party unity. This political tension coincides with the ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation into alleged irregularities in a 2016 recruitment examination. Rawat has previously dismissed the ED’s scrutiny as a product of “electoral anxiety” and “the arrogance of power” by the BJP.
