What kind of a mess is this? A five year term is cut to four so the last year can be to reverse everything done in four previous years?

Sometimes the status quo needs to be questioned. If an office is changed to a four-year term then the LAW, not the political party should reflect that change. It is corrupt to have such ideas floating around the party as if it is okay to manipulate the law by resignation followed by reassignment to another party member. That is not correct and reeks of corruption.

Mr Rawat, 60, handed in his resignation to Governor Baby Rani Maurya just days short of completing four years in power, becoming the latest in Uttarakhand's legacy of Chief Ministers exiting before term. A first-timer, he was chosen by Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the BJP swept the Uttarakhand election in 2017, winning 57 seats in the 69-member assembly. The Congress won just 11 seats.

"Now that party has taken a collective decision to entrust the responsibility of state chief ministership to some other leader."...
