Pushkar Singh Dhami 2.0: Pushkar Singh Dhami took the oath of office and secrecy as the 12th Chief Minister of Uttarakhand. Governor Gurmeet Singh administered the oath to Dhami and his cabinet. Dhami has created a record by becoming the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand for the second time in a row. After the 2022 assembly elections, the BJP high command has decided to repeat him.
Along with Dhami, the names of eight cabinet ministers were also announced, in which Satpal Maharaj, Dhan Singh Rawat, Subodh Uniyal, Ganesh Joshi, Rekha Arya and Premchand Agarwal also took oath. For the first time, MLA from Sitarganj, Saurabh Bahuguna and Bageshwar MLA Chandan Ram have been made cabinet ministers.
The swearing-in ceremony was held at Parade Ground in Dehradun in the presence of PM August 2, 2021
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nadda, UP CM Yogi Adityanath, Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states and many VVIPs. The swearing-in ceremony was held for the first time from the Raj Bhavan at the Parade Ground.
Preparations for the swearing-in ceremony were going on at the Parade Ground since the announcement of Dhami’s coronation as Chief Minister by Uttarakhand Observer and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. After Dhami’s loss from Khatima seat, the MLAs were shown running in Delhi in the CM’s race as the lobbying started among the MLAs to become CM.
But, after the meeting of the legislature party, on Monday, the high command had agreed in the name of Dhami. BJP has won the assembly elections in 2022 with a thumping majority. In Uttarakhand with 70 seats, 47 seats have come in BJP’s account. Congress had to be satisfied with 19 assembly seats, whereas, BSP came back and won two seats and two independent candidates have also started playing the electoral innings.
No candidate of Aam Aadmi Party ‘AAP’ could open account in Uttarakhand. AAP’s CM face Colonel Ajay Kothiyal lost the election from Gangotri assembly seat. BJP’s Suresh Chauhan has won from here.
Dhami government’s first cabinet meeting will be held after swearing-in
The first cabinet meeting of the Dhami government will take place just after the swearing-in ceremony. Dhami can make some big announcement in the cabinet meeting. Before the 2022 assembly elections, Dhami had talked about bringing a Uniform Civil Code in Uttarakhand. If sources are to be believed, the Dhami cabinet can take a big decision on the Uniform Civil Code.
Myth broken for the first time in Uttarakhand
For the first time in the history of 20 years, a political party has again formed the government in Uttarakhand. After the formation of Uttarakhand on 09 November 2000, BJP formed the government. But, in the 2002 assembly elections, the command of Uttarakhand came in the hands of Congress. After five years, 2007 BJP once again formed the government in Uttarakhand. Unhappy with the BJP, the people again joined the Congress in 2012, but in the 2017 elections, the BJP made a comeback and formed the government again in Uttarakhand. Breaking all the myths in the history of Uttarakhand, the BJP government was once again formed in Uttarakhand in 2022 under the leadership of CM Pushkar Singh Dhami.
Dhami was defeated from Khatima assembly seat
In the assembly elections 2022, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami was defeated from Khatima assembly seat. He was defeated by Bhuvan Chandra Kapri of Congress. In the 2017 assembly elections, Dhami had defeated Kapri. However, despite the defeat, the BJP high command, expressing confidence in CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, entrusted him with the responsibility of the post of CM. After becoming the CM, about half a dozen BJP MLAs have offered to give up their seats for Dhami.
During the tenure of six months, the heart of the high command was won by six merits
Pushkar Singh Dhami, who is going to take over the reins of Uttarakhand again, had six special features during his six-month tenure as Chief Minister. These qualities considered Dhami the best in the eyes of the high command. In this was the decision-making ability of the first Dhami. Dissolving the Chardham Devasthanam Board according to public sentiment was considered his big decision.
