Dehradun, 10th March. Senior Congress leader and former Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat, took responsibility for the party’s defeat.
Harish Rawat was the party’s campaign face in Uttarakhand assembly elections.
Rawat is trailing from Lalkuwa behind Bharatiya Janata Party’s Mohan Singh Bisht by over 17,000 votes.
The Bharatiya Janata Party is all ready to retain Uttarakhand. It has won 20 seats and is leading on 27 seats.
Congress, which was expecting anti-incumbency against the state government, has won six seats and is leading on 13 in the 70-member state assembly.
The senior Congress leader said that the party’s efforts have fallen short in getting the support of people.
“Our efforts were little less to win over the people of Uttarakhand. We were sure that people will vote for a change, there must’ve been a shortage in our efforts, I accept it and take responsibility for the defeat,” he said. He also said that the party’s campaign strategy was “insufficient”.
“Our campaign strategy was insufficient and I accept it as chairman of the campaign committee. People worked very well and I’d like to thank them. I couldn’t win people’s trust but I’d like to congratulate my daughter and all the winning candidates who won,” Rawat said.
