The newly elected MLA from Salt assembly constituency Mahesh Jeena would be administered a formal oath for being the member of the Uttarakhand legislative assembly on May 27 at Vidhan Sabha. Jeena would be administered the oath by the speaker Prem Chand Agarwal. Jeena was elected on the ticket of BJP in the recent assembly election of Salt in Almora. He is elder brother of the late Surendra Singh Jeena whose death resulted in the by-election. On Tuesday, the MLA made a courtesy call on chief minister Tirath Singh Rawat. He informed Rawat about the various issues of his constituencies and was in turn assured by the CM of necessary measures to resolve the same.
Riding on an emotional wave and supported by a strong organisational setup the Jeena romped home in the by -election with a comfortable 4,697 vote victory over the Congress candidate Ganga Pancholi.
