BJP leadership summons Trivendra Singh Rawat to Delhi after two observers visit Dehradun to meet MLAs & ministers. Their report says CM is failing to inspire MLAs and is losing grip over state.

While this small, beautiful hill state has been seeing a lot of managerial turnover, there is a larger problem at work. Increasingly, important appointments are being made on purely ideological considerations. Little thought being given to potential administrative acumen and ability.
