Raipur MLA Kau says that in consultation with his organisation he would take a decision if his issues not resolved
In an indication that all is not well within the ruling BJP in Uttarakhand, the Raipur MLA Umesh Sharma ‘Kau’ has said that he has conveyed to the party high command about the problems being faced by him and if things remain unchanged he would take a decision about his future in consultation with his own ‘organisation’. Giving enough hints that the organisation he is referring to is the group of Congress leaders who had defected to the BJP after the famous coup on the floor of assembly against the then Chief Minister (CM) Harish Rawat, the Raipur MLA said that the group has Ministers and MLAs.
Kau had gone to Delhi to meet the national general secretary (organisation) and state in-charge of the BJP after the video of his spat with some BJP workers became viral recently. Informing about his Delhi visit Kau told the media persons at the sidelines of the ‘ Swasthya Samwad’ organised by the state health department that BJP is his like his family but he is suffering from a pain from last five years and to inform the party high command about his problem he had gone to Delhi. He said that those who hardly give 10 minute meeting time talked with him for an hour in Delhi. When asked about the problem which he is referring to, Kau said that there is a group within the party which worked against him in the assembly election of 2017 and these people organise a meeting every six months against him. The Raipur MLA who created a record of winning by a highest margin in Uttarakhand in the assembly elections of 2017 said that he had informed the chief minister, president of Uttarakhand BJP and general secretary about his issues but when no action was taken to resolve them he went to Delhi.
He however clarified that he has no problem with CM Pushkar Singh Dhami as he in his programme in Maldevta made more announcements for Raipur than any other constituency in the state.
