Speaking to ANI today, Rawat said, “All of us thought that we were winning in Uttarakhand… being the chairman of the Campaign Committee, I take responsibility for the defeat. I apologized to every member and leadership in the working committee. I have also apologized to the public before.”

The Congress leader further said that the party would act on the suggestions given by party members on earlier occasions. BJP is all set to retain Uttarakhand by winning 47 seats.
