IN a damage-control exercise to contain discontent against the then Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat with just a year to go for the Assembly elections, the BJP had sprung a surprise by picking the Lok Sabha MP from Pauri-Garhwal, Tirath Singh Rawat, as his replacement in March. Now, nearly four months into the job, he’s out as well. The prospect of his not being able to fulfil the constitutional requirement of becoming an MLA within six months is being cited as the reason for the state getting its third CM Pushkar Singh Dhami within one term. That, however, could just be a convenient alibi for the party high command to spare itself the blushes and correct the mistake of para-dropping an MP, who has proven to be quite an unpopular one, instead of banking on established or promising legislators.
