Dhan Singh Rawat, Satpal Maharaj among frontrunners for next Uttarakhand CM's job

India TV News  

Highlights BJP MLAs Dhan Singh Rawat and Satpal Maharaj are leading ahead in the race for next U'khand CM. The Bharatiya Janata Party is facing an uphill task to decide who will sit at the helm of affairs in Uttarakhand where the party returned to power for a second consecutive term but its incumbent CM Pushkar Singh Dhami lost the battle from Khatima -- a seat he had been winning for the last two consecutive elections. Dhami was handpicked by the BJP leadership following the exit of Tirath Singh Rawat, averting a constitutional crisis that requires a CM or Minister to become a member of the legislature within six months from the date of taking the charge. I went repeatedly in their midst to tell them about the work done in road and health sectors under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Dhami told reporters in Dehradun with party national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and party's poll in-charge Pralhad Joshi sitting next to him.
