Anita Katyal | Atishi, Sisodia may change their seats; EAM plays squash & breathes cricket
Deccan ChronicleNow that the Jharkhand and Maharashtra Assembly polls are over, the next electoral battleground is all set to shift to Delhi. # Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami goes out of his way to emulate his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath’s style of functioning but nothing seems to work for him as his popularity ratings show little signs of improvement. Besides fighting this public perception, Mr Dhami also has to be mindful of ambitious young leaders in the party and four former chief ministers — Tirath Singh Rawat, Trivendra Singh Rawat, Ramesh Pokhriyal and B.C. This battle has intensified further as there is a buzz in the BJP’s Punjab unit that Rana Gurmit Sodhi, another former Congress leader also known for his proximity to former chief minister Amarinder Singh, is being considered for this post. Matters have become complicated as former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda wants to be back in the post he held in the last assembly even though the Congress registered a shocking defeat under his leadership.
