Uttarakhand Minister Premchand Aggarwal resigned from the Cabinet on March 16, following protests over his controversial comments made in the assembly about people from the state's hill regions. Aggarwal, who held key portfolios like finance and parliamentary affairs, submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. His comment, made during the budget session in February, sparked anger among hill area residents.
