Former Uttarakhand CM T.S Rawat Criticizes Own Party's State Government

Generally, it does not happen in so-called a disciplined party based on cadre but differences started surfacing in open source says. Recently speaking on illegal mining, Rawat criticised the policies of the state government and gave the Congress party an issue to rub the state government on the wrong side source says. He also invited his party’s MLA for dinner at his house, the Haridwar, MP was expecting the participation of at least 20/30 leaders but on the day only 3/4 attended source says. Though it was a simple matter B L Santosh, called and rebuked him source says.

In the meantime, the Secretary (mines) stated that rumours are being spread by some and advised others not to believe the source.  When the matter was brought to the notice of Rawat by some correspondent, he replied that ‘Lion should not respond in barking of Dogs’ the source says. The IAS association has also taken note of this and started agitation against Rawat source says. Now Rawat is in a fix, some observers think that this outburst is due to non-fulfilment of the promise given to him while disturbing him from the CM position source says.
