Garhwal MP Tirath Singh Rawat Appointed As Uttarakhand's New CM

Garhwal MP Tirath Singh Rawat on March 10 was delegated as Uttarakhand's Chief Minister after ex-CM Trivendra Singh Rawat abdicated the post on March 9. Former Uttarakhand BJP chief (2013-2015) Tirath Singh will take the oath on March 10 itself. The decision was taken after the hill state's BJP legislature party meeting. However, there were several potential candidates, including Haridwar MP Ramesh Pokhriyal and State Higher Education Minister Dhan Singh Rawat, for the post.
