Saturday, 3 July 2021Newsdesk

A day after Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat resigned less than four months after taking over, the Congress Saturday held a press conference to dwell on the political instability in the state and accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of displaying hunger for power. Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said, “In 2017, BJP formed a government in Uttarakhand. But instead of working for the development of the state, they went power-hungry and in the last four and half years, two chief ministers have been changed.”

As per news report of The Indian Express, Surjewala also took to Twitter to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief JP Nadda for betraying the people of Uttarakhand by bringing political instability in the state. “Modi ji-Nadda ji has betrayed the people of Devbhoomi by pushing Uttarakhand into political instability, loot of power and the ‘chief minister swap scheme’,” he tweeted. In another tweet, he named all the BJP CMs in the state over the years and called it BJP’s “chair changing game” in Uttarakhand. “Three Chief Ministers in Uttarakhand in four and a half years – Trivendra Singh Rawat, Teerth Singh Rawat and the upcoming CM. The previous record of BJP is also the same – Nityananda Swami, Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Bhuvanchandra Khanduri, Ramesh Pokhriyal and Bhuvanchandra Khanduri.”
