Former Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh who recently launched his own party after a long feud with party leaders, today took a dig at senior party leader Harish Rawat.
“You reap what you sow," said Capt as Harish Rawat alleged lack of support from the party leadership ahead of crucial polls in Uttarakhand on Wednesday evening.
The veteran leader mocking Mr Rawat gave his best wishes for the latter's “future endeavours”.
“All the best for your future endeavours (if there are any) @harishrawatcmuk ji,” tweeted Captain on December 22.
Meanwhile, the party's senior Uttarakhand leaders have been summoned to Delhi. According to sources, leaders such as Ganesh Godiyal and Devendra Yadav met yesterday and have been summoned
to the national capital again. Rawat is also expected to leave for Delhi today after paying his respects to Chaudhary Charan Singh at Kisan Ghat in Haridwar.
Moreover, amid the turmoil, a few Rawat loyalists are planning to travel to Delhi today. Surinder Aggarwal, who is Rawat's advisor, said that AICC Uttarakhand in-charge Devender Yadav
is a part of the BJP's plot to prevent Congress from regaining power in 2022. On Wednesday, he complained to the media that Yadav had taken no action against individuals who had removed Rawat's hoardings during the
'Vijay Samman Rally' rally in Dehradun on December 16, which was addressed by ex-Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
The Gandhi family loyalist, Rawat on Wednesday triggered buzz in political circles after he alleged sabotage from the party high command and hinted at a new rebellion.
"Isn't it strange? We have to swim through this election sea, but instead of helping me, the organisation has turned its back on me or is actively playing a negative role," Harish Rawat wrote on Twitter.
The senior party leader tweeted in Hindi that "the powers that be have let loose many crocodiles in the sea that we must cross. My hands and feet have been shackled by those who I am
supposed to follow. I've had the impression that Harish Rawat has gone too far, that you have done enough, and that it is time for you to rest."
With the Uttarakhand election approaching, Mr Rawat's warning is loud and clear. Rawat had previously demanded that Congress name a chief ministerial candidate for the 2022 Assembly
elections, stating that doing so would stop factionalism and clear up uncertainty among party workers.
