Even before the results are to be announced on coming Thursday, hectic activity has begun for the chief minister’s post in Uttarakhand.
Harish Rawat and Pritam Singh, two main contenders in the Congress, have already met Rahul Gandhi. And the BJP is trying to kill dissent, which erupted after six or seven of its MLAs complained about election sabotage, before March 10, in a bid to keep its flock ready for the battle for the top post of the State. It seems to be evolving plan B in case of a hung Assembly.
Uttarakhand has given mandate alternately to the Congress and the BJP.
