Clarity among party workers and a shot at improving the BJP's political fortunes in Himachal Pradesh — that's what led BJP chief Amit Shah to name Prem Kumar Dhumal as the party’s CM face in the state, reports The Tribune.
The Assembly elections are scheduled to take place in Himachal Pradesh on 9 November and the BJP has been deliberating on the decision to announce a key leader in the state for six months. The decision was taken by party core committee and Amit Shah ahead of PM Narendra Modi's rallies in the state, scheduled for 2, 4 and 5 November 2017.
