Putting an end to months of speculation about a change of guard, Vijay Bahuguna, on Friday resigned as Uttarakhand chief minister amid indications that Union minister Harish Rawat has emerged as a strong contender to succeed him.
Shortly before going to the Raj Bhavan to submit his resignation to Governor Aziz Qureshi, the former High Court judge-turned politician said he was resigning on the directives of the party high command. “I am resigning from the post of chief minister on the directives of the party high command,” Bahuguna told reporters.
