Commenting on Rawat's tweet where he had charged elements within the party with not co-operating with him and standing with their heads turned away, Godiyal said he has also been having similar feelings.
Harish Rawat on Wednesday created a flutter in the political circles, alleging non-cooperation from his organisation and noting that he sometimes feels it is time for him to rest.
Captain Amarinder Singh's remarks have come after senior Congress Harish Rawat in a tweet earlier in the day blamed Congress' top leadership for tying his hands.
Notably, the timing of the tweets assumes significance as Uttarakhand and Punjab both are going to polls next year.
Senior Congress leader Harish Rawat has expressed unhappiness over the functioning of the party leadership. He said that the party is not extending the hand of cooperation, instead it is turning its back.
The former CM added that the state government took no decision when they asked them to resume the Chardham Yatra as the number of infections were declining. "Now when the devotees are not coming here, they are lifting restrictions," he lashed out at the government.
CM Charanjit Singh Channi was also present at the meeting, along with PPCC Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, present Punjab party in charge Harish Chaudhary, and Vidhan Sabha Speaker Rana KP Singh.
Amit Shah sought details about the precautionary steps being taken by the state government in view of the heavy rain alert. At the time of the Kedarnath floods, Congress removed the then CM of state Vijay Bahuguna, added Rawat.
The decision comes after Harish Rawat had urged the party high-command to relieve him as general secretary in-charge for Punjab affairs in view of the upcoming assembly elections in Uttarakhand.
The announcement by Captain of a possible alliance with the BJP in the upcoming Assembly elections had started a war of words between the senior leader and many other Congressmen.
Assembly polls in Punjab and Uttarakhand are scheduled to be held next year.
The Congress leaders are watching his moves ahead of the new party formation and sources say that all the Congress members have distanced themselves after he worked out a "patch up formula" with the BJP.
Rawat also claimed that Sidhu will consider the party high command's decision to be final.
Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday said, "I expressed my concerns regarding Punjab and Punjab Congress to party high-command. I've full faith in Congress president, Priyanka ji & Rahul ji. Whatever decision they'll take, it'll for the betterment of Congress and Punjab. I'll follow their directions."
Amid continued turmoil in the Punjab Congress, state unit chief Navjot Singh Sidhu will meet AICC general secretaries K C Venugopal and Harish Rawat at the party headquarters here on Thursday.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Navjot Singh Sidhu said that he fully trusts Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. He said whatever decision Rahul and Priyanka will take, would be acceptable to him.
Rawat has blocked the attempts of several BJP MLAs to return to the Congress after the transport minister in the Pushkar Singh Dhami government and influential Dalit leader Yashpal Arya’s ‘ghar wapsi’ in the Congress.
Sidhu also skipped the wedding ceremony of the Chief Minister's son. He did not cite any reason for his absence.
Captain Amrinder Singh replied to Harish Rawat stating that nation has witnessed how he was humiliated in the party.
