Former Uttarakhand chief Minister Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank today demanded imposition of President's rule in the state charging Vijay Bahuguna government with total failure in addressing problems of disaster-hit areas.
"The state government has utterly failed in handling the situation after the crisis. Scores of villages are still cut off from the rest of the country and facing a foodgrain crisis," Nishank told reporters here.
Alleging that the state government had no moral right to continue in office after "failing to deliver at a time when the state was in the throes of one of the worst crises in its history," he demanded that the state be immediately brought under President's rule.
