Rawat Holds First Cabinet Meet Post Revocation of President’s Rule
Harish Rawat was restored as Chief Minister of Uttarakhand 46 days after he was ousted.
Harish Rawat on Thursday held the first meeting of his cabinet after being reinstated as Uttarakhand Chief Minister and decided to quickly implement decisions taken by his government in the past and expedite the execution of Government Orders (GOs) issued earlier.
The cabinet meeting was held a day after President’s rule was revoked in Uttarakhand.
The press briefing, which was to be held after the Cabinet meeting at 12:30, was cancelled.
Rawat promised to work hard to make up for the loss suffered by Uttarakhand due to prolonged political uncertainty in the state
He was restored as Chief Minister of Uttarakhand 46 days after he was ousted by the Centre in a political battle that ended in a setback to the Narendra Modi government as the Supreme Court put its stamp of approval on the floor test in the Assembly.
Shortly after the court’s directions, the Union Cabinet recommended lifting of President’s rule to enable restoration of the Rawat government.
