Rawat resigns as chief minister of Uttarakhand Amid talk of below par performance, 60-year-old hands over letter to Governor Baby Rani Maurya
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat on Tuesday handed over his resignation to Governor Baby Rani Maurya, the move seen as the BJP s course-correction ahead of elections scheduled for next year.
The former chief minister apparently met the BJP leadership in Delhi on Monday and had a series of discussions.
Speculation had been rife about the 60-year-old politician being replaced by one of his ministers as chief minister. Significantly, the central BJP leadership recently sent two observers, party vice president Raman Singh and general secretary Dushayant Kumar Gautam, to Uttarakhand to get a feedback from the party’s core group in the state amid reports of discontent against the chief minister.
