Dehradun, June 13 (UNI) Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Harish Rawat today said it was unlikely that Lt Gen (Retd) Tej Pal Singh Rawat would be accepted back in the Congress even if he wished in the future.

In a press conference, answering queries on whether General Rawat who quit Congress to join BJP recently would be accepted back by Congress if he wished to do so, UPCC Chief Rawat said ''He has abandoned the party, when, Congress needed him the most. By quitting the party when it is going through crucial moments he has insulted it''. He added that it was difficult for the Congress to accept him back. Congress could be deceived only once. Mr Rawat said that General Rawat has proved himself a man interested only in harvesting when it was ripe.

''Congress ke pas aise karykartaon ki kami nahin hain jo khet jotne aur fasal lagane meing vishwas rakhte hain'' (Congress does not lack party workers who believe in working hard for the party selflessly) he asserted. He said, however, his shift would not make any difference to the party.

Meanwhile, Uttarakhand Congress Chief lambasting BJP Government in the state said that it has initiated a tradition of hopping parties in the state. He said that it was the sign of desperation on Chief Minister Khanduri, his government and his party's part. He blamed that the BJP had enticed away General Rawat.

Flaying BJP government for its "failures" Mr Rawat said that when it is celebrating its 100th day in power on June 15 and would claim its achievements, we have come up with 35 points of its "failures" and demand explanation to the public. Mr Rawat said that eexcept for the price of liquor, it has failed to curb the prices of other essential commodities.

Mr Rawat declared that the Congress would hold a demonstration in front of the Chief Minister's House on June 23 to express its resentment on the "failure" of the BJP government.
