Rawat defies warning by Congress brass, carries on Uttarakhand yatra
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s aide, former minister N. K. Rawat, is pressing ahead with a religious trek across Uttarakhand, ignoring cautions from senior Congress leaders. The 70‑year‑old politician, who has been vocal about the state’s development, says the journey is a personal pilgrimage and a way to connect with voters. Congress officials warned that the trip could be politically risky, but Rawat remains undeterred.
