Uphill Rescue
Uphill rescue The top change in Uttarakhand is indicative of the limits of running a State from New Delhi our days short of four years after he was sworn in, Trivendra Singh Rawat was asked by the Bharati- Fya Janata Party (BJP) central leadership to make way for Tirath Singh Rawat as Chief Minister of Uttarak- hand. The new CM was sworn in on Wednesday. The outgoing Mr. Rawat failed to keep the house in order; party workers and MLAs had distanced themselves from him. In fact, his very selection as CM in 2017 had less to do with his popularity or leadership skills than the central leadership’s liking for him. He was seen as an imposition from above. Far from building bridges with the BJP workers and MLAs, his style of functioning further alienated him from the party ecosystem. Party leaders felt ignored in decision making, and power was increasingly concentrated. While party functionaries were sidelined, governance fell more into the hands of bureaucrats. The BJP has 57 MLAs in the 70-member As- sembly and at least half of them had turned against the outgoing CM. Allegations of corruption hastened his downfall, but the determining factor was his singular failure to hold the party ﬂock together. The State goes to elections next year and the BJP could not have aﬀord- ed to let him lead it. Success or failure will now be in the kitty of the incoming Mr. Rawat. The change of guard in a State, giving up on its hand- picked person, is uncharacteristic of the BJP leader- ship, and hence marks discontinuity.
