acchi Singh Rawat
NEW DELHI: While the BJP leadership is still clueless about how to handle the Vasundhara Raje case, party president Rajnath Singh on Tuesday removed Uttarakhand state unit chief Bacchi Singh Rawat from his post, making him the second senior leader in the state to face action for the party's debacle in the Lok Sabha polls last May.
Former chief minister B C Khanduri was the first casualty when he was replaced by Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank a little over a month ago.
Rajnath appointed Bishan Singh Chufaal as the new head of BJP's state unit after accepting Rawat's resignation on the directive of the party. Chufaal is a minister in the state and a three-time MLA.
Rawat and chiefs of other state units where the party had performed badly in the general elections were asked to resign soon after the poll results were announced. In Uttarakhand, the party lost all the five seats.
Khanduri was virtually forced to put in his papers as chief minister even after he had claimed support of a majority of the 35-odd MLAs in the 70-member assembly.
