The result of the trust vote was handed over to the Supreme Court in a sealed cover on Wednesday along with video recording of the proceedings in the state assembly. The decision to revoke the President's rule in Uttarakhand has created an atmosphere of jubilation in the state Congress camp. The Congress has stated it is a victory of democracy. The Centre had imposed President's rule in the state on March 27, arguing that the Rawat government lost majority when nine rebel Congress MLAs voted against the state government's annual budget.
