The Congress on Saturday hit out at the BJP leadership saying it has thrown Uttarakhand into political instability and betrayed its people by repeatedly changing chief minister like toys. BJP leader Tirath Singh Rawat resigned as the state’s chief minister on Friday after holding the post for less than four months. He had replaced Trivendra Singh Rawat in March.
Pushkar Singh Dhami will be the new chief minister of Uttarakhand following his election on Saturday as the leader of the BJP legislature party. The BJP has insulted the ‘devbhoomi’ of Uttarakhand, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and its president J P Nadda are responsible for the current situation, the Congress alleged.
Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the BJP has betrayed the people and Prime Minister Modi and Nadda are responsible. He said this is not the first time the BJP has changed chief ministers in a state as it has done so in the past in Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka.
