Pushkar Singh Dhami takes oath as Chief Minister of Uttarakhand for second time
Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday took oath as the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand. This is his second term as the CM of the hilly state.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday took oath as the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand for the second consecutive term. Governor Lieutenant General Gurmit Singh administered him the oath of office and secrecy at the Parade Ground in Dehradun. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states attended the swearing-in ceremony of the BJP government. Dhami was elected as the legislature party leader on Monday, paving the way for his taking over the reins of the state for a second time. Dhami assumed the CM's office on July 4 last year, succeeding Tirath Singh Rawat. The BJP contested the Assembly elections under Dhami's leadership and secured a comfortable majority in the 70-member House, winning 47 seats. Dhami, however, lost from Khatima, the seat which he won in the 2012 and 2017 polls. Dhami needs to be elected to the state Assembly within six months to continue as Chief Minister. The BJP had won 47 of the 70 Assembly seats in the elections, the results of which were declared on March 10.
