New Delhi, May 11 (IBNS) The Congress is set to return to power in Uttarakhand as the Centre on Wednesday acknowledged before the Supreme Court that Harish Rawat had won Tuesday's trust vote and promised to withdraw the President's rule.

Reports said the Centre informed the court that President's Rule, which has been in force in the state since March 27, will be lifted on Wednesday itself.

 The Supreme Court ruled last week that Rawat, the deposed Chief Minister of Uttarakhand,  must be given a chance to prove that he still has a majority in the state legislature.

After the trust vote, the Congress claimed victory.

The results of the  test were handed over to the Supreme Court in a sealed cover.  the court confirmed on Wednesday that Rawat had the support  of 33 lawmakers, two more than he needed for majority.
