A meeting with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi seems to have allayed the concerns of senior Congress leader and former Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat. He has now agreed to lead the Congress campaign for upcoming assembly polls in the hill state. 

Speaking to reporters after the meeting with Rahul Gandhi in Delhi, Rawat said that while he will be the face of election campaigning, decision on the chief ministerial candidate will be taken later by the party.

The meeting was necessitated after a series of tweets from Rawat expressing displeasure at the party functioning and said that he was left to negotiate with 'crocodiles in the sea of elections'.

He had also tweeted that the thought that it might time for him leave politics may have come. 

After his tweets, a host of Congress leaders reached out and tried to placate him.
