With leadership crisis — BJP changed CMs twice in 4 months last year — becoming a poll issue, ruling party is going overboard not to allow Dhami’s predecessors to overshadow him.
It’s a no-brainer that Modi is the face of BJP’s campaign in Uttarakhand, with CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, who took over last July as third CM since 2017 election, taking the backseat.

Some of the 10 legislators dropped placated with tickets for family members. Former state Congress women’s wing chief Sarita Arya, who joined BJP 3 days ago, nominated too.
The state has seen 10 CMs in 21 years, and only one has successfully defended his own seat in an assembly election. BJP leaders say Pushkar Singh Dhami will break the pattern.
While BJP leaders frequently invoke Gen. Rawat’s name to buttress their pledge for state's development, Congress has demanded Bharat Ratna, wants 'chance' to implement his vision.
On Monday, cabinet minister Yashpal Arya and his son, first-time MLA Sanjiv Arya, quit the ruling BJP and rejoined their old party Congress, months before assembly polls.
