Former chief minister Harish Rawat has expressed apprehensions about the specter of an acid assault on the Congress’s Parivartan Yatra in Uttarakhand as a part of a conspiracy to disrupt the social gathering’s marketing campaign for Assembly polls in 2022. In a tweet on Thursday, a day forward of launching the social gathering’s Parivartan Yatra from Khatima, Rawat mentioned he obtained a “worrying piece of information” from two sources.

“Political or ideological rivalry is alright, healthy competition in terms of performance is okay. But if you single out a political rival and instigate some students or motivate them to throw ink laced with acid on them, it would be a blot on the politics of Uttarakhand,” Rawat mentioned. “If it does happen, it can be easily guessed which party is behind this,” he mentioned with out naming any social gathering.

However, Rawat who’s social gathering’s marketing campaign committee head in Uttarakhand didn’t say something within the tweet concerning the social gathering leaders who could possibly be focused if such an assault happened. Alerting each one together with the executive companies concerning the menace, he mentioned he prays to Goddess Purnagiri that nothing of the kind occurs through the social gathering’s ballot marketing campaign and it seems to be simply a terror.
