Harish Rawat Resigns Congress Posts After ED Recovers Cash, Gold from Aide
Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat resigned from key Congress posts following Enforcement Directorate raids that recovered Rs 32 lakh, gold, and luxury watches from his personal assistant Chandan Singh Jeena's residence. The ED probe relates to alleged irregularities in a 2016 recruitment exam. Rawat defended Jeena as hardworking and denied believing the allegations, stating he stepped down to avoid weakening the party's anti-corruption campaign ahead of state elections. He clarified he has not quit the Congress party itself and may reconsider resignations if the controversy affects the party's narrative.
