Asked if the political storm over the Rajya Sabha nomination was over, Rawat, who met the party high-command here, said: “It was never there. We are very disciplined soldiers. We always abide by the decision of the high command. But there may be certain issues, which we will take up with the high-command or people who matter.”
Upset over “not being taken into confidence” by the Congress, ally PDF with six members in the Assembly named state minister Dinesh Dhanai as its candidate for election to the Upper House, after the Congress decided to field former Almora MP Pradeep Tamta.
Besides, a senior Congress minister in the state, Yashpal Arya who had raised a banner of revolt during the recent political crisis in Uttarakhand, has reportedly threatened to resign from the Cabinet and the party if the decision to nominate Tamta was not revoked.
