BJP has had a pattern of changing power every five years

The 70-seat Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly's tenure ends on March 23, 2022. However, the political upheaval in the state is becoming more intense. Along with the Congress, the BJP, the Aam Aadmi Party, the BSP, and a number of smaller parties will try their luck here. However, because the BJP has had a pattern of changing power every five years for the past two decades, the Uttarakhand election remains the most difficult for the party. In such circumstances, Congress is fervently seeking to reclaim control. At the same time, the BJP is working to dispel the idea of power transition.

BJP turned over control to Tirath Singh Rawat

In the 2017 assembly elections in Uttarakhand, the BJP gained 57 seats and formed a landslide victory. The opposition Congress, on the other hand, could only secure 11 seats. Then came Trivendra Singh Rawat as Chief Minister, but he was only removed after four years, and the BJP turned over control to Tirath Singh Rawat. However, Pushkar Singh Dhami was appointed Chief Minister of Uttarakhand in place of Tirath Singh Rawat within a few months.
