Dehra Dun, Aug 26 (PTI) After some Congress MLAs and
ministers in Uttarakhand staged protests on different issues,
ruling party legislator Manoj Tiwari today began a hunger
strike seeking deployment of doctors in Almora district.
Tiwari, considered to be a loyalist of Union minister
Harish Rawat, staged a sit-in in Almora town.
"I will continue my hunger strike till my demands are
met," the MLA from Almora said.
Tiwari alleged several surgeons and physicians had been
transferred from different government hospitals in Almora and
their posts were lying vacant.
The MLA's strike came a day after Kunwar Pranav Singh
"Champion" held a protest yesterday at Jantar Mantar in New
Delhi.
Champion, also a wrestler, demanded that he should made
Sports minister in place of Dinesh Agarwal who, he alleged,
had no knowledge of sports.
On previous occasions, Education minister Mantri Prasad
Naithani held a demonstration at Jantar Mantar demanding early
completion of 330-MW Srinagar hydel project.
Harish Dhami, a Congress MLA from Dharchula, had sported
a black badge around his arm to protest what, he alleged,
Chief Minsiter Vijay Bahuguna's indifferent attitude towards
his constituency.
Uttarakhand BJP chief B S Chufal demanded resignation of
the Chief Minister saying Bahuguna had lost confidence of his
own party MLAs.
"The Chief Minister who does not enjoy the confidence of
his party MLAs has no right to continue in office," he said.
