After allotting the portfolios to the party activists and appointing chairman of all six Morcha of the party, Rawat also appointed eight vice-presidents and four general secretaries in early this week.

Party sources revealed that the party high command took advice and considered the sentiments of every cell of the party along with the veteran party leaders. Few section of the party has also threatened to register their protest at party high command as their leaders were debarred giving portfolios. However, sources revealed that the party has tried to keep balance among the party activists who come from the Garhwal and Kumaon divisions of Uttarakhand.
