The entire Uttarakhand is boiling with the disclosures on the Ankita Bhandari case. The party's well-wishers were expecting that Dhami's failure to handle the issue delicately would cost him his chair of chief ministership, but as news comes out, the source says he has again been given a free hand to tackle the issue as per his readings and circumstances. This all happened after his meeting with the party's top leaders in Delhi, a source says.
It's said that he brought with him the files of all probables of the chair, including Ritu Khanduri, Saurabh Bahuguna, Anil Baluni and others, the source says. These leaders are having support from some of the very influential top leaders and also the Gujarat lobby and not allowing him to function properly, Dhami narrated to the high command source says. It's understood that high command thinks that with the files, it is clear that in the present case, only Dhami is most suitable to continue, and there is no need to replace him, the source says. Very soon, the repetition of the Gujarat model reshuffle in the formation of the cabinet is likely in Uttarakhand, according to the source.
