“These people had earlier left Congress as they were feeling trapped in the party due to anti-people policies of Rawat government and central leadership of the party. They were also feeling that only Prime Minister and BJP can deliver development to Uttarakhand. However, their exit will not impact the saffron party's prospects in the assembly election",State Party Chief Ajay Bhatt said. (UNI)
