In a surprising turn of events, former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has openly criticized the Pushkar Singh Dhami-led state government, claiming its inaction on crucial issues is tarnishing the BJP's image. Rawat notably highlighted the police's failure to register FIRs in certain cases even after eight months.

The political tension escalated as allegations of unlawful donations and mining were brought to the forefront. Harak Singh Rawat, a former member of the BJP now with Congress, alleged massive fund transfers, which Trivendra Rawat denied, claiming all transactions were legitimate and through cheques.

Additionally, other party leaders have voiced their discontent over the current administration's performance. Critiques from BJP MLA Bishan Singh Chuphal and Arvind Pandey about incompetent leadership and rampant illegal mining, respectively, further highlight divisions within the party despite reassurances from state BJP president Mahendra Bhatt to address these concerns internally.
