The Bharatiya Janata Party is confident of winning the Salt assembly by-election and the 2022 assembly elections in the state. The party’s state in-charge Dushyant Kumar Gautam said this while addressing the media at the party’s state office on Friday. Meanwhile, the BJP State president Madan Kaushik apologised on moral grounds for using the state helicopter during his recent visit to Bageshwar. He said that the BJP state unit will pay for the flight.
Gautam said that the party is confident of winning the Salt assembly by-election, adding that the name of the candidate will be announced in a couple of days. He also appreciated the various decisions taken by the chief minister Tirath Singh Rawat in public interest. However, he added that the BJP is approaching the public with all the positive works done by the State government during its four years in office so far. On being asked about former CM Trivendra Singh Rawat, Gautam said that the party’s central leadership is thinking about him. “The position of the BJP has improved in various regions including Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, West Bengal and Kerala. The party is in need of experienced workers and the central leadership of the party may find some task for him in this scenario,” he said. The BJP state in-charge further stressed that the previous CM was not miffed at the party’s leadership. He said that unlike in the Congress, a party worker doesn’t occupy any position permanently. On being asked about the current CM reversing various decisions of the previous CM, Gautam said that the BJP is not obstinate in its thinking.
