Chandigarh, October 20
AICC general secretary and Punjab affairs incharge Harish Rawat has urged the party high command to relieve him of the responsibility of the state, so that he could focus on Uttarakhand that was going to the polls around the same time as Punjab.
There are reports that Rawat met party leader Rahul Gandhi in this regard. After meeting Rahul Gandhi, Rawat tweeted, “I have decided that I must urge the party leadership that in the next few months I can completely devote all the time to Uttarakhand so I should be relieved of my present responsibility in Punjab.” — TNS
