"Just Have Fun," says: Cong. Leader Harish Rawat, a threat to Cong.

New Delhi: Uttarakhand Cong. Leader Harish Rawat led the party into great trouble as he offered no explanation for tweets aimed at the Gandhis and instead told reporters that he would "speak when the time comes."

Cong. leader Rawat is known to be the face of the party in the upcoming election polls. Via his tweet, the leader said, he felt his hands are tied and that he wants to rest and that he hoped for "guidance from Lord Kedarnath" about what path to take.

Earlier this morning, Mr Rawat was surrounded by many reporters for questioning.

"When the time comes, I will share everything with you. Who else will I speak to, if I don't speak to you? I will call you. For now, just have fun," said the former Uttarakhand Chief Minister in comments that can only boost the Congress's worries.

Mr Rawat rant on Twitter has been seized by leaders of the "G-23." The group of 23 Congress "dissidents" who took the unprecedented step last year of writing to party president Sonia Gandhi asking for sweeping reforms, including a "visible, full-time leadership" and collective decision-making.

Manish Tewari, a prominent G-23 member, took an unsubtle swipe at his party in capital letters.

According to the Cong. Leader, "First Assam, then Punjab, now Uttarakhand. Bhog poora hi paun Gaye kasar na rahe jawe koi (loosely translated as - decimate the party, spare no efforts),"

Cong. leader Rawat is one of the trusted leaders by the Gandhi family and a Congress trouble-shooter stunned his bosses with the tweets that named no one but left no doubt. For the party, it means a crisis in a state where it is confident of regaining power.

Amid the upcoming election polls in the 5 states, Mr Rawat tweeted, "Isn't it strange? We have to swim in this sea of elections, but instead of supporting me, the organisation has either turned its back on me or is playing a negative role."

"The powers-that-be have let loose many crocodiles (predators) in the sea that we have to navigate. Those whom I am supposed to follow, their people have tied my hands and feet. I have been thinking... Harish Rawat, it's gone too far, you have done enough, it is time to rest. Then there is a voice in the head that quietly says I am neither weak nor will run from challenges. I am in turmoil. Hope the New Year shows me the way. I am confident that Lord Kedarnath (Shiva), will show me the way," the Congress leader said.

The BJP's Tirath Singh Rawat said Mr Rawat appeared to be "in pain" and should rest.
