Rawat resigned from the top post barely four months after taking charge.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Tirath Singh Rawat resigned as the Uttarakhand chief minister late on Friday evening after a day of speculation and political drama, PTI reported. His exit has paved way for a third chief minister in the hill state in less than four months.
