Hindustan Times  

The Uttarakhand assembly poll result has presented the BJP with a dilemma of sorts as it weighs various options after outgoing chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami who was tipped to continue in the post lost the election even as the party stormed back to power. Dehradun: Former Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat feeds sweets to BJP State President Madan Kaushik after his victory in the Assembly polls from Haridwar constituency, at the party office, in Dehradun. Party sources said Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Dharmendra Pradhan may be sent to the state as central observers to oversee the legislative party meeting to elect the new leader.
