Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Harish Rawat has levelled a cryptic allegation regarding the sale of Dharmshalas in Haridwar. The veteran politican wrote on the social media that the sale of various Dharmshalas and other properties is not new in Haridwar.
However, he said that the names of those selling the properties tend to be similar while the one behind the purchase is also same in various deals. “I have not been able to understand this despite serving Haridwar for so many years. Sale of Dharmshalas daily stung me. I contested the 2009 election from here so have an emotional attachment with Haridwar. Hence, I dwelt deeper into the issue and was surprised to find that among the sellers, some names are connected with the sale of every property while the same name comes up regarding the buyer. Blessed is Haridwar- you work up many miracles, which is why drops of Amrit fell in Haridwar,” he stated.
Though Rawat has refrained from taking any names, the locals opine that he is referring to a prominent local MLA who is also part of the state government.
