These raids have been conducted as a part of the ongoing money laundering case, which involves allegations of OMR sheet manipulation in the 2016 UKSSSC recruitment examinations. Harish Rawat, who had been serving as the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, has resigned from all his posts in Congress after cash and gold were found in Dehradun’s house of his personal assistant, Chandan Singh Jeena.
Long-time partner : Prior to FIRs, Jeena worked as an Officer on Special Duty (OSD) under Rawat when he was a Chief Minister in the period of 2014-2017. The resignation from the Congress Working Committee and state executive was made due to the desire to protect the integrity of the party’s anti-corruption platform. Positions that were given up : Rawat resigned as a permanent invitee to the National Congress Working Committee and Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee executive. Protecting the campaign : Referencing Rahul Gandhi’s focus on educational corruption, Rawat maintained that controversies surrounding his circle should not undermine the party’s broader messaging.
Future outlook : With no active government office to vacate, Rawat opted for a clean break from organizational duties while legal proceedings against his former aide continue.
