Watch | Tirath Singh Rawat sworn-in as Uttarakhand CM: All you need to know
BJP MP Tirath Singh Rawat was sworn-in as chief minister of Uttarakhand on Wednesday.
This comes a day after Trivendra Singh Rawat tendered his resignation from the post.
Tirath Singh Rawat was administered the oath by Governor Baby Rani Maurya at the Raj Bhavan.
He was ‘unanimously’ chosen as the CM following a BJP legislature party meet.
Tirath Rawat, a Lok Sabha MP from Garhwal, was also a former state BJP president.
His predecessor to the post, Trivendra Singh Rawat resigned after several Uttarakhand BJP MLAs questioned his ‘style of governance.’ Assembly elections are likely to take place in Uttarakhand early next year.
In 2017 polls, BJP won 57 out of the state’s 69 seats, increasing its tally by 26.
Congress, meanwhile, slumped from 32 to 11 in the state assembly elections.

As the BJP celebrates its victory in Maharashtra, voters have spoken loud and clear about what drove the win. Was it the party’s focus on Hindutva, or the emphasis on development (Vikas)? With the outcome favouring the BJP, the question now remains: who will take the reins as Chief Minister – Eknath Shinde, the current leader, or Devendra Fadnavis, the former CM with a significant political presence? The dynamic between Hindutva and Vikas played a crucial role in shaping the electorate’s decision, with many voters citing these two factors as central to their choice. As Maharashtra's political landscape shifts, the future of its leadership hangs in the balance.

The previous Jharkhand Assembly elections were decided by a mix of socio-economic and political factors that resonated deeply with the state's voters. Key issues included tribal welfare, unemployment, rural development, and land rights, which became decisive in swaying public opinion.
The JMM-Congress-RJD alliance successfully leveraged its tribal connect and promises of inclusive governance, securing significant support from rural and marginalised communities. Meanwhile, the BJP's focus on development projects and infrastructure faced backlash from anti-incumbency sentiments and dissatisfaction over economic policies.

The National People’s Party (NPP), led by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, has withdrawn its support to the BJP-led government in Manipur, citing the failure of Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s administration in handling the escalating unrest in the state. The NPP’s decision, which involves its seven MLAs in the state legislature, highlights the growing dissatisfaction with the handling of ethnic violence and protests that have been intensifying since May 2023. Despite this move, the BJP’s hold on the government remains largely unaffected due to its strong majority. This development marks a critical moment in Manipur’s volatile political and security landscape, with the NPP accusing the Singh-led government of incompetence in managing the ongoing crisis.
