New Delhi: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat is in Delhi for a meeting with the BJP leadership amid reports that he may be replaced after being rated "below average" by his own party MLAs.
Mr Rawat will meet with BJP President JP Nadda this afternoon.
Talk of a leadership change in Uttarakhand ahead of elections next year gained ground after two central party observers, Raman Singh and Dushyant Gautam, were sent to Dehradun on Saturday.
The BJP leaders met with MLAs, ministers and also with the Chief Minister and leaders of the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh), the ideological mentor of the BJP.
The two observers then submitted a report to the party president.
Some names in circulation to replace him are Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank and Satpal Maharaj.
But while BJP sources say Mr Rawat is likely to be removed, state party chief Banshidhar Bhagat has, on record, categorically denied any such move.
