Rebel GL Shah quits BJP

Dehradun, January 11
Sitting MLA from Pindar (Chamoli) GL Shah, who was at the forefront of the rebellion that manifested in a massive protest at the BJP state headquarters against the ticket distribution for the 2012 Assembly poll, has resigned from the BJP.
Shah was miffed with the BJP central leadership for denying him a ticket from Tharali (Chamoli) after his Pindar seat was hit by the new delimitation.
“I will hold talks with my supporters and decide on the future course of action whether I should stand as an Independent or join other parties,” said Shah.
As the Congress has already declared the candidate for the Tharali seat, chances of him joining the regional parties are higher.
Meanwhile, Cabinet minister and BJP sitting MLA from Dhanolti today deferred his decision to file his nomination from Rajpur (Dehradun) and will be holding a late night meeting with his supporters.
Khazan Das and another rebel Anil Nautiyal, the sitting MLA from Karnprayag (Chamoli), are being actively wooed by the Uttarakhand Raksha Morcha.
