The vice president of Uttarakhand Congress Suryakant Dhasmana has claimed that Congress candidate Manoj Rawat will register victory in the Kedarnath Assembly by-election.
Interacting with the media-persons here on Saturday, the Congress leader said that the people of Kedarnath have suffered from the mismanagement and lack of preparations during this year’s Yatra. He said that the tall claims of the State government were exposed by the rain triggered natural disaster on July 31 when all the leaders of the BJP remained busy in election campaigns in different States. Dhasmana said that the Yatra remained almost closed for one and half months and even now the damaged bridle path to Kedarnath shrine has not been repaired completely.
The Congress leader added that people of Kedarnath and State want to know the truth behind the theft of 228 kg of gold from Kedarnath temple. He said that Shankarachrya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Giri and Teerth Purohits have raised questions on gold theft but the government and BKTC are not prepared to tell the truth. Dhasmana said that the attempted construction of Kedarnath Dham in Buradi in New Delhi and transportation of sacred rock ( Shila) from Kedarnath to New Delhi is still a major issue in Kedarnath. He said that the people of the constituency are eager to teach BJP a lesson in the by-election.
