There couldn't have been a worse beginning for the Congress that looked to give itself an image makeover in Uttarakhand with a change of guard at the top. Union minister for water resources Harish Rawat, who replaced Vijay Bahuguna as the hill state's new CM on Saturday, slapped an over enthusiastic 25-year-old party worker who wouldn't stop shouting "Harish Rawat zindabad".
TV cameras were quick to capture the image of an angry Rawat landing a resounding blow on the young man's face moments after some of his happy-faced supporters gave what they thought was a rousing reception for their new leader.

Nine people were charred to death when a fire broke out in three coaches of Mumbai-Dehradun Express train near Dahanu road in neighbouring Thane district in the wee hours of Wednesday.
Among the nine dead, one is a woman and four are men while the rest were yet to be identified, said Western Railway PRO Sharat Chandra.
Four persons have sustained minor injuries, said police. The fire erupted in one of the three coaches and soon spread to other two coaches when the passengers were sleeping at about 2.50am, Chandra said, adding the cause of the blaze is not yet known.
