Unnerved by virtual revolt of Dharchula MLA, Harish Dhami, the Pradesh Congress Committee (PC) President would meet the central leaders of the party soon.
The PCC president is expected to explain his view point and ways to stop the menace of dissent in the party to the top leadership of the party.
Talking to the media persons at state headquarters of the Congress party here on Wednesday, Pritam Singh said that he has sought time for meeting Congress president Sonia Gandhi, the issue raised by Dharchula MLA, Harish Dhami.
He said that he would also meet Congress general secretary, K C Venugopal in Delhi. In the meeting with Venugopal, the PCC president would raise the issue of changing the position assigned to the Dharchula MLA, Dhami.
The Congress MLA became angry when he found his name on the last (98th) position in the list of secretaries. Pritam Singh is continuously asserting that he had sent Dhami’s name at 16th position in the list of special invited members.
The PCC president added that he understands the position taken by Dhami and he (Pritam) too would have taken a similar stance in a similar position.It is pertinent to mention here that Dhami believes that the Leader of Opposition (LoP) Indira Hridayesh is the brain behind the whole fiasco to humiliate him. He has opened a front against the veteran leader by saying that the LoP has always remained friendly and non combative with the BJP government. He said that the moment the BJP government stated that it would hold inquiry on the irregularities on the State Infrastructure and Industrial Development Corporation of Uttarakhand Limited (SIIDCUL) during the Congress reign; Indira Hridayesh adopted a soft stance on the government.
While expressing full faith in the leadership of Pritam Singh, Dhami has claimed that eight out of 11 Congress MLAs are against her continuing on the post of LoP. These MLAs are also expected to meet central leadership of the party soon with the demand to remove Hridayesh.
Interestingly while MLAs like Dhami and deputy leader of Congress in state assembly Karan Mahra have been vocal against Indira Hridayesh not even a single MLA has come out in her support so far.
