New Delhi: Not satisfied with the performance of known leaders, BJP’s top brass is left with a limited option and takes a big gamble by nominating MLA Pushkar Singh Dhami smaller known as Uttarakhand cm.
The decision, in what was seen as a change of generation, was also an effort to spur party cadres ahead of the country’s election.
Besides belonging to the Rajput community, which is more than 32% of the country’s population, long-term experience of Dhami organizations and relationships with party cadres are useful for him.
Consecutive victories from Khatima in the Kumaon region were calculated as a factor because the area was considered a congress and used veteran fortress CM Harish Harish.
The sources of the party said the ritu Khanduri Bhushan, the daughter of the leader of the senior party and former CM B C Khanduri, and MLA from Yamkeshwar, also considered as a substitute for Tirath Singh.
However, the height is seen as a compromise with party opposition to Dynastic succession in politics.
Being the first time, he lost a race to the second parliamentary member Dhami.
The sources of the party said they appointed Khanduri because the CM representative was considered, which could work as a caste (Brahmana) and regional equalizing laws with Garhwal to get candidates.
Dhami was only the second BJP leader of the Kumaon area after Maharashtra Mentor and Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to take over as a CM country.
Party sources claim that the height will be a direct challenge for Hegemony Harish takes care in the region.
Most of the BJP senior leaders and familiar faces come from Garhwal.
However, Dhami faced uphill tasks because the assembly poll lasted several months and his appointment would cause hatred among party leaders who aspired to take the coat after two CMS changed in four months.
