Uttarakhand Chief Minister Likely To Move Out?

The party of so-called character and discipline is passing through the litmus test on both fronts. This winter the leaders of the BJP are not shivering with cold but sweating due to the heat generated by the Ankita murder case source says. The case which was almost buried has come out like a ghost with the statement of the wife of a party leader. The Dushyant Gautam, general secretary and in charge of Uttarakhand of the BJP is very close to the present CM and people say that hussing off the case was only due to his direct approach to the highest authority in the state. One video daily on the subject is creating anguish and anger against the system amongst the young generation and any day it can burst, if proper care and steps are not taken to defuse the entire scenario source says.

Till this time Dushyant Gautam was working like a shield for the present CM but the case has prepared slippery ground for him and under these circumstances the high command is likely to go for a change in the state leadership source says. Everyone is looking for the opportunity to grab but the name of Ritu Khanduri is on top with the backing of B L Santosh source says. The name of one minister in the state Saurav Bahuguana son of Vijay Bahuguna is also taking rounds. Anil Baluni, as usual is also trying his luck but it seems the high command is not very favourable on his candidature source says. But most of the leaders are keeping fingers crossed on the name because the high command is known to bring someone not known to anybody as a surprise source says a source. This is only when the high command thinks seriously about changing the present leadership source says.
