The Congress on Tuesday said the resignation of Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat was an eyewash to hide the government's "failures", and urged the President to dismiss the BJP dispensation in the state.
Congress party in-charge for Uttarakhand Devendra Yadav said at a press conference that the act shows the "admission" by the BJP of its government's "failure" in fulfilling the aspirations of people of the state.
He said the BJP government should resign and go to the people to seek fresh elections.
Yadav said this shows that nothing in the name of development has taken place in Uttarakhand under the BJP rule, except "corruption".
