Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat was called to New Delhi for a meeting with BJP high command and other leaders. This development has rung bells in the political corridors of the state. The CM was called to Delhi by BJP high command and he was expected to reach the Uttarakhand house in the national capital by around 1 pm. CM Rawat replaced Trivendra Singh Rawat as the CM in March this year over dissatisfaction by party MLAs against the latter. He has mostly made news for his infamous comments like didactic over attire of sanskari girls & ripped jeans. His comment of ‘America enslaved India’ had made him the centre of jokes and trolls.

Rawat’s visit has formed cradle for birth of political speculations. This is because, in the state, he had a busy schedule for today. He was expected to launch several programmes relating to the ministry of his cabinet minister Rekha Arya. Apart from that the BJP in Uttarakhand has just concluded a three-day event. It was to chart out the party’s strategy for the 2022 assembly polls. The programme was termed as Chintan Shivir. It was held in Ramnagar, Nainital. Despite the aspersions and concerns within the party, there was no indication of any resentment against Tirath Rawat in the ‘Chintan Shivir’.

Sources indicated that the BJP high command planned to discuss the outcome of the three-day political meeting in Uttarakhand. The party also premeditated to discuss further about the party’s planning for the assembly polls in the state next year. Tirath Rawat was expected to meet the top BJP leaders including party chief JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah. The meetings can be held today or tomorrow.

As Rawat was inducted as the Chief Minister without being an MLA, he is also looking towards his election to the Uttarakhand Assembly before September 9. When he was made the state’s Chief Minister on March 9, he was a Lok Sabha MP from Garhwal constituency in Uttarakhand. To continue as chief minister, he must be elected to the assembly within six months through by-elections. Like him, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is also looking for her by-election. Tirath Rawat has not clarified his constituency from where he will contest. He has said that the party high command will take the final call on it.
