'Uttarakhandiyat' to be at centre of Congress poll strategy: Harish Rawat

Senior Congress leader Harish Rawat on Wednesday said 'Uttarakhandiyat' will be at the centre of the party's campaign strategy in the poll-bound state. The Congress has embarked on a month-long campaign aimed at identifying the forces for and against 'Uttarakhandiyat', the former chief minister who heads the party's poll campaign committee in Uttarakhand said at a press conference here. "Uttarakhandityat and its protection will be the core plank of our poll strategy in the state. It will be built around the three symbols of Uttarakhandiyat mandua, ganna and shilp (millet, sugarcane and crafts)," he said. Mandua symbolises hill crops, sugarcane is a major crop that grows in the state's plain areas, while crafts are part of our cultural identity, Rawat said. He said these three symbols were chosen as the party felt that the solution to the state's economic problems lies in their promotion.
