Harak Singh Rawat was one of the nine Congress MLAs who rebelled against Harish Rawat's government in March 2016, reducing it to a minority.
Uttarakhand leader Harak Singh Rawat, sacked from the BJP just weeks before the state election, wants to return to his former party Congress but one man stands in the way - Harish Rawat. The former Chief Minister has reportedly told his party it should not take back the man who betrayed him.
Harak Singh Rawat was one of the nine Congress MLAs who rebelled against Harish Rawat's government in March 2016, reducing it to a minority. President's rule came into force soon after. He has said that he is willing to apologise to Harish Rawat.
"Often we do things we regret. I should not have taken a decision that caused such turmoil. I shouldn't have taken such a big decision over a small issue. But circumstances were such...," Harak Singh Rawat told NDTV.
On his sudden exit from the BJP on Sunday, he said: "BJP expelled me. I didn't quit. Amit Shah had called me and said we will be friends till our last breath."
