DEHRADUN/NEW DELHI, Mar 13: Congress MP Vijay Bahuguna was today sworn in as Chief Minister of Uttarakhand after the Congress overruled a revolt by another MP Harish Rawat, who is said to have offered to resign from the Union Government. 65-year-old Bahuguna, son of late Congress leader Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna, was the lone Minister to take the oath of office and secrecy at a brief ceremony at the Parade Ground here. Before his swearing in, Bahuguna told reporters that six more Ministers will be inducted in three or four days after consultations with the High Command. Governor Margaret Alva administered the oath at the function which was attended by former Chief Minister N D Tiwari, Central Congress observers Ghulam Nabi Azad, Birender Singh, party MP Satpal Maharaj, PCC chief Yashpal Arya, and Bahuguna’s sister Rita Bahuguna Joshi.
