Trivendra Singh Rawat, the former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, said in an interview with the media that he has been praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the excellent work done by his government. But I don’t know why he was removed from office in April. On the 9th of this year. 


Rawat added that although his dismissal was untimely, it was a party decision and he accepted it. The BJP leader is believed to have close ties to the Union’s Interior Minister Amit Shah and became the chief minister of Uttarakhand after the BJP’s overwhelming victory in the 2017 state elections when he was in the 70-member parliament Won 57 seats. 


But four years later, the party asked Rawat to resign, allegedly because of his government "non-compliance." Since then, there have been rumours that the BJP hopes to participate in the next parliamentary elections in Uttarakhand in 2022 with “new faces”.

Although Rawat refused to comment on Tila Singh’s removal — “I don’t know why he was asked to go,” he said — but he insisted that his government had not failed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people The expectations of the party leadership. 


The former chief minister also expressed his opposition to Dhami's decision last month to review the Uttarakhand Char Dham Devasthanam board of directors, which was established by the Lavat government in December 2019 and formed on January 15, 2020. 


He said that those protesting were a very small group of priests and purohits with vested interests, and the shrine board catered to the needs of the entire Hindu community around the world.
