Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday took oath as the eleventh chief minister of Uttarakhand, a day after he was elected as the leader of the BJP’s legislature party in the hill state, thus paving the way for his elevation to the state’s top post.
Dhami was administered oath of office by governor Baby Rani Maurya at the Raj Bhavan in Dehradun.
Soon after the ceremony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the new chief minister and his cabinet of ministers. “Best wishes to this team as they work towards the progress and prosperity of Uttarakhand,” PM Modi tweeted.
