Harish Rawat Resigns from Congress Posts Following ED Probe into Aide's Assets
Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat resigned from key Congress posts after the Enforcement Directorate recovered unaccounted cash, gold, and luxury items from his former aide Chandan Singh Jeena amid a probe into alleged irregularities in a 2016 recruitment exam. Rawat defended Jeena as hardworking and denied allegations of tampering with exam materials. He said his resignation aimed to avoid weakening the Congress party's anti-corruption campaign ahead of state elections. The ED conducted multiple searches linked to the case, which remains under investigation.
