Will win 60 + seats under youth chief minister- Kaushik
Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami presided over his first cabinet meeting after he and the cabinet ministers were sworn-in earlier in the evening. Cabinet minister Subodh Uniyal said that various important decisions regarding the youths and necessary requirements of the state had been taken in the meeting. According to officials, a media briefing will be held on Monday to elaborate on the decisions taken in the cabinet meeting.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party state president Madan Kaushik said that in the 2022 Assembly elections the party will win more than 60 seats under the leadership of young chief minister Dhami. He said this during a meeting held by Dhami with his cabinet colleagues after their swearing-in. Detailed discussions were held on development works in this meeting. Kaushik said that during its four and a half years term in office the BJP state government had proved its commitment to development and its positive attitude with its works. He said that leadership change had to be affected in the state due to a constitutional issue but BJP is such a party that this has not affected the development works which are continuing unhindered. The BJP state government had performed better on the issues of employment, self-employment, education, health and resolving all types of fundamental issues, he claimed. Kaushik further said that the party organisation had stood firmly with the state government during the Covid-19 pandemic due to which the state had succeeded in checking the disease. The party is still not sitting idle but busy preparing for a possible third wave of Covid, he said.
The BJP state president further said that during its three-day Chintan Shivir held recently in Ramnagar, the BJP had chalked out its roadmap for the 2022 Assembly elections. Party programmes till the month of December had also been planned. He further said that the people had voted the BJP candidate to victory in the Salt Assembly by election which shows that the people trust the party. “There is enthusiasm among the people and party workers. Considering the expectations from a young and energetic leadership, we are confident that the BJP will win more seats than it did in the 2017 Assembly elections,” said Kaushik.
Along with chief minister Dhami, the party’s national general secretary and state in-charge Dushyant Kumar Gautam, all ministers, state general secretary (organisation) Ajey and other office bearers of the party were also present in the meeting.
