Harak Singh Rawat sacked from BJP
The Hindu
His move to enter Congress, however, has come up against some opposition from ex-CM Harish Rawat
Uttarakhand Minister Harak Singh Rawat was sacked from his post and removed from the BJP on Sunday night, prompting him to say that “if Congress wasn’t winning earlier, it was definitely winning now” and that he will “now initiate talks” with the Congress.
Sources said he was all set to contest on a Congress ticket from Doiwala against former Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said Mr. Rawat was trying to exert pressure on the BJP to give ticket to his family members, and that these tactics would not work on the party. “We are against ‘vanshwad’ [dynasty politics] and the party does not react to these pressure tactics,” he stated.
