When Chief Minister Harish Rawat had upgraded a secondary school located within the Kiccha Assembly seat and named it after the father of the sitting BJP MlA Rajesh Shukla it was taken as a bid to woo the saffron MlA into the Congress folds. But as things transpired later it became clear that the move was a part of the CM's game plan to plunge himself into the heat of the contest from the same seat. "BJP leaders as well as the observers were baffled by the crafty move of the CM. Now things have fitted into place," said an observer.
