Pushkar Dhami performing like a ‘good finisher like Dhoni in T20s’: Rajnath Singh
The Hindu
The Defence Minister praised the Uttarakhand Chief Minister for making ‘400 decisions in just around four months of his tenure’
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami is doing a “relentless batting” like Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a T20 match and deserves a “full-length, five-year" Test match chance, Defence Minister Rajanath Singh said on Saturday.
Using cricket terminologies, Mr Singh sought a full five-year term for Mr Dhami in poll-bound Uttarakhand after the 2022 assembly elections, likening his short tenure in the fag-end of the State assembly to a T20 match.
Hailing Mr Dhami’s performance as the chief minister in just over four months, Mr Singh made the recommendation for him while launching the second leg of the Shaheed Samman Yatra from a martyrs village in the district.
