• Top Congress leaders on Thursday spoke to Harish Rawat and sought to mollify him after his public outburst against party leaders, sources said. This came after Rawat created a flutter in the political circles, alleging non-cooperation from his organisation and noting that he sometimes feels it is time for him to rest.
• The sources said the senior leaders sought to know from Rawat the reasons behind his criticism. He was asked to continue to work towards ensuring the party’s victory in the upcoming polls, they said. Rawat would be attending a series of meeting in Delhi on Friday on Uttarakhand polls. Meanwhile, Congress MP from Punjab Manish Tewari also criticised the party leadership.
• “First Assam. Then Punjab. Now Uttarakhand..Bhog Poora Hi Paun Gaye. (Will finish completely). Kasar na rahe jawe koi (No effort will be spared),” he said in a cryptic tweet. Tewari is a member of the G-23 group within the Congress which had sought organisational overhaul of the party.
