Anand Singh Rawat, son of Union minister Harish Rawat, was on 17 May 2011 elected as the new state youth Congress chief of Uttarakhand. Rawat defeated his nearest rival Jyoti Rautela, a supporter of former Chief Minister N D Tiwari, by a margin of 441 votes. Rawat got 556 votes while his rival Rautela could manage only 115 votes. Rautela was elected vice president as she came second.
The third place went to Sangram Singh Paudir, who became general secretary by winning 91 votes. Om Prakash Sati got 60 votes and became the general secretary. There are two general secretary posts.
The defeat of Rautela is of significance as top state leaders like Harak Singh Rawat, Vijay Bahuguna, PCC chief Yashpal Arya, known acolytes of Tiwari, were supporting her against the Harish Rawat camp.
