‘You reap what you sow’: Captain jibe at Harish Rawat

New Delhi: As Congress leader Harish Rawat went public on Wednesday with his disenchantment with the party leadership in tweets, his former colleague and former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh posted a savage response.

“You reap what you sow! All the best for your future endeavours (if there are any),” Amarinder Singh wrote for Harish Rawat, whose stint as the Congress’s Punjab in-charge did not end well for him.

In tweets earlier on Wednesday, Rawat spoke about feeling abandoned by his leadership and even said he hoped for “margdarshan (guidance) from Lord Kedarnath” in the New Year.

To many, the tweets were a clear sign that the former Uttarakhand Chief Minister is contemplating his exit on the verge of elections. Both Punjab and Uttarkhand will vote in state elections early next year

“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,” Harish Rawat tweeted.

Rawat, a member of the Congress Working Committee, is the party’s face for the 2022 Uttarakhand polls.Until recently, he was also the party’s chief trouble-shooter in Punjab, trying to resolve a dragging Amarinder Singh versus Navjot Singh Sidhu feud. —(Agencies)
