Friday, 2 July 2021Newsdesk

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat has been in Delhi for the past three days over worries that he may lose his four-month-old job because of the uncertainty over an election that he needs to win and a rift in the state BJP unit.

New Delhi, 02 July 2021

As per news report of NDTV, Tirath Rawat was summoned to Delhi on Wednesday by the BJP leadership and yesterday, he was asked to stay put, sources say. Whether he stays Chief Minister hinges on a decision by the Election Commission. Mr Rawat took charge in March, with just a year to the Uttarakhand election, as the BJP's answer to fierce discontent against then Chief Minister Trivendra Rawat. With a state election due next year, the BJP was forced to go for urgent damage control by replacing its top leader.
