The political landscape in Uttarakhand is tumultuous for the BJP, as Pushkar Singh Dhami grapples with mounting challenges, particularly from former Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat. Rawat, a seasoned politician, has been actively convening meetings with elected representatives, tirelessly advocating for a shift in state leadership to the central party leaders, according to sources.
In a strategic pivot, Trivendra Rawat has altered his approach. With numerous corruption allegations lingering in the courts, he understands that a potential conviction could force him into political exile. To preempt such a scenario, he is now championing the name of Anil Balooni, a Brahmin, in hopes of rallying support. However, persuading voters to embrace a Brahmin leader in place of the current Rajput chief minister, Dhami, presents a significant challenge source says. Despite these formidable hurdles, Trivendra Rawat remains undeterred, driven by a steadfast mission to oust the incumbent CM. His determination suggests that the political battle in Uttarakhand is far from over, and the stakes are higher than ever source adds.
