For finding solution and selecting new CM, Union Agriculture Minister, Narendra Singh Tomar has rushed to Dehradun where he plans to meet party leaders.
Since bielection is not scheduled, the BJP top leadership now has no choice but to select any BJP legislator for the CM post.

Meanwhile Congress has accused the BJP of pushing Uttarakhand into a ‘political instability’.
In a statement, Randeep Surjewala, the Congress spokesperson said that not only the BJP has brought political turmoil in the State but has also allowed its leaders to openly loot the State’s natural resources
