Uttarakhand state minister Dhan Singh Rawat may replace Trivendra Singh Rawat as the chief minister of the state as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is mulling a change of leadership in the state. The other two probables for the post are senior leaders Ajay Bhatt and Anil Baluni, PTI reported. 

BJP also likely to bring in a deputy chief minister and Pushkar Singh Dhami is the frontrunner for the post. 

The central BJP leadership recently sent two observers, party vice president Raman Singh and general secretary Dushayant Kumar Gautam, to Uttarakhand to get feedback from the party’s core group in the state amid reports of discontent against the chief minister.
