BJP will win Uttarkhand Assembly elections with full majority, claims CM Pushkar Singh Dhami

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday claimed that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win the Assembly elections with a full majority.

Dhami was responding to former Uttarakhand Chief Minister and Congress leader Harish Rawat's claim of winning more than 48 seats in the state due to strong anti-incumbency against the ruling BJP.

"We will get more than 48 seats in the state Assembly polls," Rawat toldon Monday while responding to a query about Congress' chances of forming government in the state.

Meanwhile, Dhami on Tuesday told ANI, "They (Congress) will not win the Assembly elections. The BJP will win with a full majority in the state."

"Rawat's statements keep changing time and again. Sometimes he says that he wants to become the Chief Minister and sometimes he says that a Dalit should become the Chief Minister. Their happiness is short-lived. There is no doubt that the BJP's thumping majority government is about to come," he added.

The polling for the 70-member state Assembly was held on February 14. The counting of votes would be held on March 10.
