Uttarakhand was named Uttaranchal and was known as this name from 2000 to 2006.The name was changed officially in 2007 January for the demand of the larger section of the population of the state.Here in Uttaranchal in 2004 Parliamentary election Bharatiya Janata Party won 3 seats out of 5,Indian National Congress won one and Samajwadi Party won one seat .The the Loksabha election of 2004 in Uttaranchal presently Uttarakhand favoured the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Narendra Modi is the face for whom and by which the BJP is campaigning for their support and Congress is constantly publicizing against Nishank,the former Chief Minister from BJP on the issue of corruption for 2010 Kumbh Mela.Nishank replied toughly that Rawat is to answer too as he was the M.P. then from Haridwar.Water,land ,unemployment etc are some important issues here which will be factors in this election.The devastating disaster in recent time in Uttarakhand is really has become a matter of touching issue though all the leaders of all parties are continually saying that this is not to be considered as a political issue.This is an emotional issue.But it is mentionable that a place of religious and economic heaven must be in light of politics as the hoteliers ,transporters are dreaming of rebuilding of the holy land.

As the Uttarakhand result prediction done by Headlines Today-Cvoter opined that in this state BJP is going to win 4 seats out of 5 seats leaving Congress one.
