Pushkar Singh Dhami, who was elected leader of the BJP legislature party in Uttarakhand on Monday, will take oath as Chief Minister of the state for a second term on Wednesday at 3:30 pm.
The swearing-in ceremony will be held at Parade Ground in Dehradun. Along with Dhami, the cabinet will also be administered the oath.
Dhami was elected leader of the BJP legislature party in Uttarakhand on Monday, paving the way for his taking over the reins of the state for a second time.
Dhami later told reporters that the priority of his government would be to provide a transparent government and fulfil the Bharatiya Janata Party’s all pre-poll commitments, including bringing a uniform civil code.
Dhami thanked the people for believing in the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He also expressed his gratitude to the BJP’s central leadership for reposing faith in an “ordinary party worker” like him once again.
“I thank the people for believing in the prime minister’s vision and giving the BJP a big victory. I also thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the home minister, party president J P Nadda and Rajnath Singh, who was the party’s central observer for Uttarakhand, for showing confidence in an ordinary worker and the son of a soldier like me,” Dhami told reporters.
