Breaking: Pushkar Dhami To Be The CM Of Uttarakhand For Second Time

Dehradun: Pushkar Singh Dhami has been elected as the Leader of the Legislative Party. I congratulate him, I am confident that under his leadership Uttarakhand will make rapid progress said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh,and BJP’s central observer for Uttarakhand, in Dehradun

While outgoing Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami was seen as the front-runner for the top post, there were several contenders, including former Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, former Union Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, and senior leader Satpal Maharaj.

All four had met Union Minister and the party’s chief strategist Amit Shah at his Delhi home yesterday. Party chief JP Nadda was also present at the meeting.

The BJP has won a record second term in the hill state with 47 of the 70 assembly seats after a campaign spearheaded by Mr Dhami, but he lost the election from Khatima, leading to uncertainty about the top post that has persisted for 10 days.
