Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat on Sunday scotched speculation that someone from his family will contest from Haridwar seat, saying it will be the last option and the party is trying to make a consensus over it.
"It would be the last option that someone of his family would be the party candidate from Haridwar seat," Rawat, who is also the sitting MP from Haridwar, told reporters here in Dehradun.
"The party is trying to make a consensus over the candidature of a dedicated party worker from Haridwar Lok Sabha seat," he told reporters here.
On a question whether the son of former chief minister Vijay Bahuguna, Saket, will get Lok Sabha ticket from Tehri, he said "Saket is a good candidate".
On the candidature of BJP leader Rameh Pokhriyal Nishank from Haridwar seat, Rawat said that the Opposition party's move will have no effect on Congress.
