The BJP instead of delivering on its tall promises made to the Uttarakhand voters has given the State a long list of former Chief Ministers the Congress said on Saturday a day after Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat resigned cutting short his four month long tenure. The State now awaits the third BJP Chief Minister since the 2017 Assembly poll. The Congress also questioned if the BJP was sacrificing Uttarakhand in an attempt to fix Trinamool Congress leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Ms. Banerjee also faces a similar predicament as Mr. Rawat. She lost the Nandigram seat to TMC rebel Suvendu Adhikari in the poll and, to retain the Chief Minister’s post, she has to get a berth in the State Assembly within six months. Mr. Rawat, who continues to be a Lok Sabha MP, was hand-picked by the BJP’s central leadership to replace Trivendra Singh Rawat, who had a run-in with the RSS and many other leaders within the BJP. A joint press conference was addressed by the Congress’s Uttarakhand leadership in Delhi, including AICC State in-charge Devender Yadav, State Congress chief Pritam Singh and Deputy Leader of Opposition in Uttarakhand Assembly Karan Mahra. Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Harish Rawat, who was unwell, addressed the press conference over phone. The high drama going on in Dehradun was an insult to the people of Devbhoomi (holy land) of Uttarakhand, Mr. Harish Rawat said at the press conference held at the Congress headquarters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised a double engine government to the State with the BJP in power in Dehradun and Delhi. The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh government on a petition seeking the immediate release of 13 minor convicts who have been declared minors at the time of the crime, all of whom are currently lodged in Agra Central Jail. These convicts have been kept in jails along with dreaded criminals. This petition, filed through a lawyer, said that after a PIL was filed in the Allahabad High Court in 2012, the Juvenile Justice Board has been asked to dispose of the applications related to the juveniles of prisoners.
