Cong U’khand crisis simmers

New Delhi/Dehradun, March 18
The political crisis in the Uttarakhand Congress refused to die down with sulking Union Minister Harish Rawat today saying he had not received any “concrete” proposal from the Central leadership to end the stalemate.

“As such no such concrete proposals have come to compensate me. If any such proposal comes, I will discuss it with my supporters,” Rawat told reporters in Delhi when asked whether he has received any offers from the high command to placate him.

Almost a week after Vijay Bahuguna took over as CM, Rawat said he and his supporters were not against any individual and had no intention of destabilising the government.

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi held deliberations with Bahuguna and party leaders to resolve the matter. AICC general secretary in-charge for Uttarakhand Birender Singh, Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, and Sonia’s political secretary Ahmad Patel were also present. — PTI
