NDTV
Harish Rawat, a member of the Congress Working Committee, is seen as the party's face for the elections in Uttarakhand
A day after former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat took a swipe at the Congress leadership ahead of the assembly election in the state over "lack of cooperation" from the state unit, Mr Rawat spoke of being a party loyalist who has devoted his life to the welfare of the state.
"Kadam kadam badhae jaa, Congress ke geet gae jaa. Zingadi hai Uttarakhand ke vaaste. Uttarakhand par lutae jaa (Keep on marching forward, sing songs of the Congress, devote life to Uttarakhand)," Mr Rawat said.
Mr Rawat, who left for Delhi to meet the party leadership, also met with his supporters in Haridwar at an event and paid tributes to former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh on his birth anniversary.
Mr Rawat on Wednesday took a swipe at the Congress leadership, saying the "nominees of those whose directions one has to swim (in the electoral battle) are tying my hands and feet".
