As per news report of NDTV, But the party stopped short of naming him its chief ministerial face, saying that MLAs would take that decision after the Uttarakhand election early next year. The Congress leadership wanted to reassure Harish Rawat that he is the party's face for the Uttarakhand polls and will get all possible support from them, sources said on the meeting. Mr Rawat, 73, stunned the Congress on Wednesday with a Twitter thread in which he spoke about feeling abandoned by his party bosses and about seeking divine guidance on the road ahead. He didn't name anyone but left little doubt that his rant was aimed at the Gandhis. "We have to swim in this sea of elections, but instead of supporting me, the organisation has either turned its back on me or is playing a negative role," Mr Rawat tweeted.
