Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is among 40 BJP leaders who will campaign for the party in the upcoming bypolls to Champawat assembly constituency from where his Uttarakhand counterpart Pushkar Singh Dhami is trying his luck.
Apart from Adityanath, Union ministers Smriti Irani and Anurag Thakur, Rajya Sabha members Anil Baluni and Naresh Bansal, former Union minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, state BJP president Madan Kaushik, former chief ministers Trivendra Singh Rawat and Tirath Singh Rawat, Dhami’s cabinet colleague Satpal Maharaj, funds Singh Rawat and Rekha Arya are part of this list. The by-elections to Champawat seat are to be held on May 31, which was vacated by Kailash Chandra Gahtori from Dhami.
The results will be declared on June 2. Although the BJP came to power in Uttarakhand for the second time in the assembly elections held in February this year, Dhami could not retain his Khatima seat after losing to Congress’s Bhuvan Chandra Kapri.
Dhami is contesting from Champawat to become a member of the state assembly which is a constitutional requirement that he must fulfill to remain in the saddle. Dhami needs to become an MLA within six months of taking oath as chief minister.
