Chamoli News: The Uttarakhand government has decided to remove Chamoli District Panchayat President Rajni Bhandari from the post of administrator. In her place, the District Magistrate of Chamoli has been appointed as the administrator. Earlier, the state government had appointed 13 District Panchayat Presidents of the state as administrators, but now, changing this decision, Rajni Bhandari has been removed from the post.

This decision has been taken at a time when recently her husband and former Badrinath MLA Rajendra Bhandari had joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Due to his defection, his assembly membership was terminated, after which by-elections were held and Congress candidate Butola won. After this development, the government's decision to remove Rajni Bhandari from the post of administrator is raising many questions. However, no official statement has been issued by the administration yet.

What did political analysts say about the action? 
Political analysts say that this decision has been taken at a time when preparations for panchayat elections are starting in the state. In such a situation, such a decision can be important from a political point of view. After the removal of Rajni Bhandari, the responsibility of the district panchayat administration has now completely come in the hands of the District Magistrate (DM). By making the DM the administrator, the role of the district administration can become stronger, but it will also be seen what effect this will have on the development work at the panchayat level. Many panchayat representatives have expressed concern over this decision and said that the role of local leadership is important in the district panchayat administration. 

This entire incident can also have an impact on the politics of Uttarakhand. After the removal of Rajni Bhandari, the question is now being raised whether any action can be taken against other district panchayat presidents as well? Also, rhetoric between BJP and Congress on this issue can also intensify. The decision to remove Rajni Bhandari from the post of administrator has certainly become a topic of discussion in Uttarakhand politics. It is not clear what are the reasons behind this decision of the government, but political experts are linking it to recent political events.

Now it remains to be seen what impact this decision has on local administration and panchayat development work, and whether this matter can take a bigger political shape in the future. At present, no detailed clarification has come from the administration, but this matter will remain in discussion for some more time.
