New Delhi, January 21

Six years after he quit the Congress in Uttarakhand, veteran MLA and expelled BJP minister Harak Singh Rawat on Friday returned to the Congress, along with daughter-in-law Anukriti Gusain. Both have been assured ticket in the elections, although both said they had joined unconditionally.

Sitting MLA from Kotdwar, Harak had led the rebellion against his own party’s government in the state in 2016 and later joined the BJP. Ten MLAs had then plunged CM Harish Rawat-led government into minority triggering President’s rule in the state. —
