"Cong. Leader Harish should take rest," says: BJP leader Tirath Rawat while slamming Cong.

Former BJP CM Tirath reacts to the series of tweets by the Cong. Leader Rawat


New Delhi: Taking notes from the Cong. Leader's Harish Rawat tweets, Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat reacted to his tweets and took a dig at him by saying that "he won't skip elections because that is his priority, but he should take some rest now."

While speaking on the Cong. leader, Mr Tirath said, "Harish Rawat is not going to take any rest. I think he is doing this to ensure his clout at the party. He will not turn his back on elections because elections are a priority for him."

Former State Chief Minister Tirath also added, "Considering the way he is expressing his pain, I feel he should take some rest."

Overlooking the comment made by the Congress leader that "it's time to rest," the BJP leader said, "He is known for doing pressure politics. No one knows what he says and does. People are aware of his past." "He is a senior leader of Congress. I think what he said today shows his pain towards the party. I hope he will live up to the feelings he expressed today," said Mr Tirath added.

BJP leader slammed Mr Harish who was also Punjab Congress in charge, over the infighting in that state leading to Congress stalwart Captain (retired) Amarinder Singh leaving the party.

In a statement, an attack on the Cong. Leader, Mr Tirath said, "Recently he was in Punjab. What happened there we know. Congress got split into pieces and the captain left the party. I think he might have learned something from that situation only."

BJP leader also ensured to win the upcoming election polls due to the inter-civil war going within the Cong. party. Tirath Singh Rawat said it will be easy for BJP to go to elections in this situation.

"Congress has always been scattered. Those who have so many splits in their family, so much infighting among themselves, how will they go outside and fight the elections. I don't think it will be easy for Congress to fight the elections like this. Certainly, it would benefit the Bharatiya Janata Party," said Tirath Singh Rawat.

"Even today, the general public gives more attention to development, but when Congress itself is not one, how will they perform outside. A recent comment of Harish Rawat tells us there is certainly something going on inside that party. Everyone is pulling each other's legs," he said.
