Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has resigned this evening after meeting with the BJP leadership in Delhi on Monday. The 60-year-old handed in his resignation to Governor Baby Rani Maurya post noon on Tuesday. He has reportedly been asked to step aside after a feedback from party MLAs in Uttarakhand that the chief minister’s “below average” performance would cost the party in elections early next year.

Rawat has reportedly upset many of his party leaders with his inability to take decisions on several core issues. He has also been accused of failing to communicate with his ministers and party workers.

Rawat, who was just few days short of completing four years in power, will remain the acting CM till a new person takes charge. Dhan Singh Rawat, a minister in Trivendra Singh Rawat’s government, may replace him as chief minister. Dhan Singh reportedly took a private chopper to state capital Dehradun this afternoon to meet top party leaders.
