Pushkar Singh Dhami Appointed As Uttarakhand's 11th CM: Who is He?

Dhami will take oath as Uttarakhand's 11th chief minister on Sunday, 4 July.

Pushkar Singh Dhami has been appointed as the new chief minister of Uttarakhand after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held a crucial legislature meet at the state headquarters in Dehradun.

“I will take the entire party along and work for the benefit of the state," the 45-year-old two-time BJP MLA Dhami told reporters on Saturday.

"My party has always kept me under its wings, just like my mother. I consider myself fortunate enough that the party gave me this opportunity. I pledge to serve people even in the remote areas of the state. We'll discuss the change in Cabinet later," Dhami said, according to ANI.
