As the high court ruled against the BJP revoking the President’s rule, Swamy suggested it’s “time to get a new AG and SG for the BJP Govt”.

Uttarakhand had been under the President’s rule as Harish Rawat’s government was dismissed on March 27 on the grounds of a “breakdown of Constitutional machinery” in a decision that came after a rebellion in the ruling Congress.
