On the occasion of the municipal elections, the same thing happened as has been happening in the assembly elections of the year 2022 and the elections held after that. Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Harish Rawat once again targeted many leaders within and outside the Congress regarding the rebellion in the Congress in the year 2016. When senior leaders were entangled among themselves while finalizing the tickets for the civic elections, the former Chief Minister not only targeted the rebel leaders in his government, but also expressed the pain of getting caught in the clutches of the sting operation. Political implications of his pain are being drawn on the occasion of the civic elections. Former Chief Minister Harish Rawat is repeatedly pained by the rebellion in the Congress government led by him in the year 2016. Harish Rawat has neither been able to forgive the leaders who have returned to the Congress after the rebellion nor is he ready to show mercy towards them. When the names of the candidates for the posts of Mayor of the Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council and President of the Nagar Panchayat were being finalized, he again mentioned the defection that took place in the year 2016 and the sting operation in his post on the internet media. He also said that the impact of this incident on the politics of the Congress and the state is a chapter on which he should say something. Former Chief Minister Harish Rawat is facing a CBI inquiry in the case of the sting that took place in the year 2016. In his post, he also listed some reasons behind his getting caught in the clutches of the sting operation. It is being told that during the meetings regarding the allocation of tickets in the bodies, there were many occasions when there were differences among the senior leaders. Harish Rawat, who is among the seniormost leaders of the Congress, was very upset about this.
Only after this, his post was seen on the internet media. In such a situation, it is believed that it is difficult to stop the factionalism within the Congress in the state. The tussle has now taken a permanent form and the common party worker has also accepted it as destiny.
