Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna had come to Delhi in the last week of December carrying his resignation; Rahul wanted his immediate resignation. But when Bahuguna approached Sonia with his resignation, he got respite in the form of some more time, because there a common opinion could not be formed about the three names in the race – Harish Rawat, Harak Singh Rawat and Indira Hridayesh. The Congress MLAs are not ready for Harak Singh, and neither do they take Hridayesh seriously. Despite getting majority votes in his support, Harish Rawat is still not getting go ahead and that is because Satpal Maharaj and his camp oppose his name. The Congress High Command is also of the opinion that if Harish Rawat does not get a chance this time, he may turn a rebel. The BJP too is moving with a strategy and is ready to support any Congress rebel to become the chief minister. The Congress too understands it and in any case, Rahul camp is upset with Bahuguna after the Uttarkashi tragedy.
