Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat is likely to get directions from Prime Minister Narendra Modi as both the leaders are scheduled to meet in New Delhi on Sunday. The Prime Minister has convened a meeting of the Chief Ministers of the BJP-ruled states to discuss the implementation of the Centrally sponsored schemes with the aim of refurbishing the image of the BJP-led Central Government in the run-up to the crucial 2019 Lok Sabha elections.According to BJP sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to meet Chief Minister Rawat individually and the proposed meeting has generated a lot of interest among the Uttarakhand ministers and party leaders.
Interestingly, since the day Trivendra Singh Rawat has taken over as the Chief Minister of the hill state, he is being compared to his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath, both hailing from Pauri Garhwal district of the state. While Yogi Adityanath has hogged the limelight by his proactive stance on governance, the performance of Trivendra Singh Rawat-led government has been lacklustre.
