On Wednesday, the state will see its Assembly elections after a year-long political instability
Only N D Tiwari has given a five-year-long stable government in to Uttarakhand Elections 2017 After Tiwari’s exit, political instability kept haunting the hill state as chief ministers were changed repeatedly by both Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress.
And last year, the instability reached its peak when the Harish Rawat government was dismissed and later reinstated.Uttarakhand assembly elections 2017
On Wednesday, the state will see its Assembly elections after a year-long political instability, making it a day of reckoning. The polling will be held for 69 constituencies after the election for the lone Karanprayag seat was countermanded following the death of Kuldip Singh Kanwasi, a BSP candidate. The polling in Karanprayag will be held on March 9. “Preparations for the polling have already been made,” said an Election Commission official.
The ruling Congress is facing a stiff challenge from BJP in almost all the seats.
In more than 20 seats, the contest is likely to be very close. Even a difference of 100 votes can change dimensions, especially in Assembly seats such as Vikasnagar, Dehradun Cantt, Narendra nagar, Doiwala and Ranikhet, claimed political experts. But hours before the polling, a purported sting operation accusing Rawat of bribing Dan Singh Bhandari, a former BJP MLA, created flutter in the political circles of Uttarakhand.
Bhandari, who quit from BJP and the state Assembly last year, is now contesting on a Congress ticket from Bhimtal constituency in Kumaon region.
