New Delhi: Expelled BJP minister Harak Singh Rawat on Friday (January 21) joined Congress in Delhi ahead of the Uttarakhand Assembly polls. 

Harak along with his daughter-in-law Anukriti Gusain joined the grand old party in the presence of party campaign head for Uttarakhand Harish Rawat. Uttarakhand Congress chief Ganesh Godiyal, Leader of Opposition in Uttarakhand Assembly Pritam Singh, state party incharge Devender Yadav and other leaders were also present. 

Attacking BJP, the Kotdwar MLA said, “When Congress wins with full majority on Mar 10, that'll be my apology (on saying there are no apologies in politics). BJP thought of me as a 'use & throw'; I was very upset. I didn't break my friendship with HM Amit Shah till the last moment, as I had promised.”
