Have similar feelings as Rawat: Godiyal

Dehradun: A day after Congress campaign head accused the party organization of not co-operating with him, Uttarakhand Congress president Ganesh Godiyal on Thursday said he shares the senior leader’s feelings but his dissatisfaction is an organisational matter which will be sorted out in a day or two in consultation with the party high command.

The state Congress leaders will go to Delhi on Friday to meet central leaders, the PCC president said.

In a tweet in Hindi, Harish Rawat had said, “Isn’t it strange that the organisational structure at most places, instead of extending a helping hand, is standing with its head turned away or playing a negative role at a time when I have to swim across the ocean of elections.”

Commenting on Rawat’s tweet where he had charged elements within the party with not co-operating with him and standing with their heads turned away, Godiyal said he has also been having similar feelings.

“I also feel this and not today but for quite some time. But my style is to give the person in question enough time to correct himself,” he said, endorsing the views expressed in Rawat’s tweet.

The organisation is aware of this and the process to address issues raised by us has also been underway. However, if they were addressed earlier there would not have been a tweet like this, Godiyal said. “We will meet party general secretary KC Venugopal and also Rahul Gandhi if necessary and put things before them. I hope a solution will be found,” he said.—(PTI)
