Roorkee MLA offers to vacate seat for Dhami

Monday, 14 March 2022 | PNS | Roorkee

With a number of newly elected MLAs and workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party supporting Pushkar Singh Dhami as the next chief minister of Uttarakhand, the Roorkee MLA Pradeep Batra has offered to vacate his seat for Dhami. The newly elected Roorkee mayor said that he had won from Roorkee because of the development works facilitated in the constituency. The Assembly election was contested across the state and won by the BJP under the leadership of Dhami. “If the central leadership of the party chooses Dhami for the post of chief minister again and if he needs a seat to contest from, I will offer him my seat. I am confident that Dhami will win by a margin of over 20,000 votes from the Roorkee constituency,” said Batra. Meanwhile, the Roorkee mayor Gaurav Goel appreciated the MLA’s statement and welcomed his decision to offer his seat to Dhami.

It is pertinent to mention here that a total of four MLAs have so far offered to vacate their seats for Dhami if he is appointed the next CM of Uttarakhand. If sources are to be believed, in such a scenario, Dhami is likely to contest from a seat in the Kumaon region.
