In latest news from Doon, the political circles are now agog with the buzz that the Congress leader and former minister Harak Singh Rawat is toying with the idea of quitting the party. This speculation was started after his daughter- in- law Anukriti Gusain Rawat resigned from the party. Though she is yet to join the BJP, she is believed to be all set to walk into the saffron fold. Asked for comment of her probable switch, Harak Singh Rawat evaded answer but said he in a few days would decide his future course of action, fuelling speculation on whether he would quit the party. Political watchers opine that he may either re-join the BJP or retire from active politics.
Notably, the ED summoned Harak twice in connection with the alleged irregularities in Pakhro and Morghatti forest areas of the Kalagarh forest division of the Corbett Tiger Reserve. Besides, the ED sleuths sealed Anukriti’s bank locker in connection with the same probe.
