new Delhi. After the massive victory in Uttarakhand, the state BJP leadership is going to meet the central leaders to discuss the formation of a new government in the state. Caretaker Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Uttarakhand BJP President Madan Kaushik’s party chief J. P. Nadda and National General Secretary (Organisation) B. Ale. It is expected to meet with Santosh and discuss the formation of the new government.
Sources said a meeting was held at Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s residence late on Monday night. It is learned that Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP President Nadda and state election in-charge Pralhad Joshi were present in the meeting.
Sources claimed that Dhami and other BJP leaders from Uttarakhand are also likely to meet central observers Rajnath Singh and Meenakshi Lekhi and other central leaders.
Even after Dhami lost the assembly elections, there is uncertainty about the next Chief Minister of Uttarakhand. Even a few days after the results were announced, the BJP is trying to find a suitable formula for selecting the new Chief Minister of the hill state.
A party insider said, “Clarity will come on the new chief minister after several meetings today and the chief minister will be sworn in soon after the election of the new leader of the legislature party.”
There are different opinions within the BJP about giving Dhami another chance. While some are supporting a second chance for him, many are saying that it will set a wrong precedent which the party has always opposed.
A party insider said, “Apart from Dhami’s fate, other issues like caste and region have to be looked into before finalizing the name of the new chief minister. The party leadership has to decide whether the new chief minister will be from Garhwal or of Kumaon and also whether he will be a Thakur or a Brahmin.”
