Pushkar Singh Dhami to continue as chief minister of Uttarakhand

Live Mint  

Uttarakhand caretaker Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday was elected as the leader of the state Bharatiya Janata Party legislature party. The BJP's dilemma and the subsequent 11-day suspense on the choice of a chief minister for Uttarakhand was caused by Dhami's loss in Khatima, a seat he had been winning since the 2012 assembly polls. However, a section of BJP leaders credited Dhami for the party's big win, bagging 47 out of 70 assembly seats, and wanted him to be the chief minister again so that he gets a full five-year term. Before the Uttarakhand assembly polls, defence minister Rajnath Singh had compared Pushkar Singh Dhami to cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
