Senior Congress leader and Union Minister Harish Rawat has been named the new CM of Uttarakhand replacing the previous CM Vijay Bahuguna who submitted his resignation to governer Aziz Qureshi on Friday.
Bahuguna was under extreme pressure to resign because of his non performance
Bahuguna has been under pressure ever since he was appointed. The flash floods that hit Uttarakhand in 2013 and the massive rescue and rehabilitation work they entailed also brought his leadership skills into question. Incidentally, delegations of MLAs and other Congress leaders from the state have been regularly meeting central party leaders in Delhi over the past six months to press for Bahuguna's ouster.
