After all, Pushkar Singh Dhami won even after losing. And again Pushkar Raj came in Uttarakhand. When he was sworn in as chief minister six months ago, who knew he would cross the sinking BJP’s boat in Uttarakhand after a tough contest. Before Dhami became the Chief Minister, there were speculations in politics that the BJP would be reduced to 15 to 20 seats.
Dhami took charge of the BJP in July 2021 and won the hearts of the public due to his soft spoken affable behaviour. In the 2022 assembly elections, the BJP won 47 seats, but lost their assembly seat, Khatima, due to the party’s infighting. The names of many veteran leaders of BJP are being counted in this conflagration. But the BJP high command had also decided that this young leader, who had crossed the party’s line, would be given the command of the state again and finally on March 21, two special envoys of the BJP high command, Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Meenakshi Lekhi, named Dhami. But stamped.
On March 10, as soon as the news of Dhami’s loss from Khatima assembly constituency broke, many party leaders joined the race for chief minister. Two MPs Nishank, Ajay Bhatt and six MLAs were being considered as the contenders for the chief minister but the high command was not ready to make any compromise in the name of Dhami as the BJP had contested the election keeping young Dhami’s face in front.
During his six-month tenure, Dhami, while removing the internal dissatisfaction within the government and the party, organized movements against the Dev Sthanam Board of Teerth Purohits of Uttarakhand, movements of secretariat workers and other state employees, and land reforms by his efficient administrative ability. terminated because of Apart from this, he also maintained harmony with different factions of the party.
Dhami overturned the defeat and changed the color of many faces. Young Dhami has emerged as a big juggler among the consummate leaders of state politics. After two decades in Uttarakhand, the myth of change of power is broken. BJP is the first such political party which came back to power continuously. The BJP high command did a new experiment in the politics of the state by handing over the chief minister’s chair again to the face of the chief minister who was defeated in the assembly elections. Dhami, on the other hand, appeared more modest as he began his second innings in political career.
