BJP meets to pick new CM in Uttarakhand

A meeting of Uttarakhand BJP’s legislature party is being held at the state party headquarters here to decide the successor of Trivendra Singh Rawat who resigned as Chief Minister on Tuesday.
The meeting began early on March 10 at the party office on Balbir Road.

Central observer Raman Singh and state party incharge Dushyant Gautam are present to oversee the appointment of the new Chief Minister.

About half a dozen names have been doing the rounds as probables for the chief minister’s post including Haridwar MP Ramesh Pokhriyal ”Nishank”, Nainital MP Ajay Bhatt, state Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj, Rajya Sabha MP Anil Baluni and state minister of Higher education Dhan Singh Rawat.

Six out of a total of seven MPs (five Lok Sabha and two Rajya Sabha) except Baluni have already arrived in the city.

Trivendra Singh Rawat resigned on Tuesday after days of speculation about a leadership change in the State.
