The Uttarakhand HC on 28 June stayed the Char Dham Yatra and asserted that it is more important to save everyone from Covid than being considerate towards the feelings of a few.
Dhami was named as the Uttarakhand CM Thursday in a surprise move as the BJP was forced to choose a new leader in just four months after a ‘constitutional crisis’.
Tirat Singh Rawat resigned from the post late Friday evening. The consensus on the new CM was reached after the BJP legislature party meet on Saturday afternoon in Dehradun.
Tirath Singh Rawat's resignation has led to questions on whether EC can hold bypolls in the time before Uttarakhand's next polls. Experts explain why there is no legal bar.
Rawat, a Lok Sabha MP, will have to resign and get elected to state assembly by 10 Sept. BJP leaders maintain that Rawat is resigning because there is no clarity if EC will hold bypolls on time.
According to rules, Lok Sabha MP Tirath Singh Rawat has time only until 10 September to resign and get elected to the Vidhan Sabha, as the state has no legislative council.
HC said the Char Dham Yatra would unnecessarily expose pilgrims to the dangers of a potential third wave, took note of the Kumbh Mela where Covid protocols were violated.
