After the results are announced, the newly elected MLAs will reach Dehradun to decide a future course of action with the senior leaders.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Mohan Prakash said, "BJP has tried to achieve a majority in small states by using the powers of the Governor and by spending money. They are planning to do the same in Uttarakhand. Their expert has already arrived here. But they will not get success as we are ready to deal with any situation and we are getting the full majority in the state."
