Senior Congress leader and sitting MP from the Pauri constituency Satpal Maharaj on Friday resigned from the Congress and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Recently Mr. Maharaj had declined from contesting the polls over unresolved issues with Chief Minister Harish Rawat, especially regarding the slow reconstruction works in the disaster-hit areas.
Mr. Maharaj's constituency was the worst-hit areas in the June deluge that ravaged the State last year.
While speaking to the media in New Delhi, Mr Rawat said may be Mr Maharaj knew that he would lose from the Pauri constituency as he had not done much work there.
