Uttarakhand's former Chief Minister Harish Rawat on January 21 said that newly-inducted Harak Singh Rawat should be welcomed by all in Congress. He also said that all candidates have been finalised for Uttarakhand polls and the list could be out anytime soon.

“Party decided to induct him and we all stand with the decision of the party. Party takes a collective decision and I am a part of it. Everybody should welcome it. Meeting went well. Almost all candidates finalised, 3-4 seats will take a little longer. Rest will be declared at any time. I think part of the screening committee is complete. They can submit the list any time for Congress president's approval,” said Rawat.
