Harish Rawat Resigns from Congress Posts After ED Recovers Cash, Gold from Aide
Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat resigned from key Congress posts following an Enforcement Directorate raid that recovered cash, gold, and luxury items from his former aide Chandan Singh Jeena's residence. Rawat defended Jeena as a hardworking and humble person, expressing disbelief in allegations of OMR sheet tampering during a 2016 recruitment exam. He stated his resignation aimed to avoid weakening the Congress party's anti-corruption campaign ahead of upcoming state elections. The ED's probe relates to alleged irregularities in the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission examination.
