Former chief minister Harish Rawat and the president of Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) Karan Mahara addressed election meetings in support of Congress candidate for Kedarnath Assembly by-election on Thursday.
Former CM Rawat campaigned at Fata, Triyuginarayan and Guptkashi. He addressed a well attended rally in Guptkashi in which he said that the Congress candidate Manoj Rawat is best suited to serve the people of Kedarnath. He said that the presence of a huge crowd in the meeting is a clear signal of the defeat of the anti-Kedar party, the BJP in the by -election.
The PCC president Karan Mahara visited many villages of Kedarnath assembly constituency on the day and appealed to the people to send Manoj Rawat to the State Assembly.
Mahara said that while Congress party is seeking votes in the name of the development works during its rule in the State, the BJP is misusing official machinery and contesting the election in the name of religion and false promises. He said that the BJP not only tampered with the prestige of Baba Kedar but also involved in missing gold from the shrine.
Mahara added that the BJP leaders are uttering not even a single word on crime against women. He said that the State government is hurting the interests of the employed.
