Zee News
Despite the BJP winning the Uttarakhand Assembly elections with a thumping majority, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami lost the Khatima seat to Congress candidate Bhuwan Chandra Kapri.
Dehradun: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday (May 9) filed his nomination for the Champawat assembly by-election, which is scheduled to take place on May 31.
Dhami is not a member of the state legislative assembly and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Kailash Gehtori resigned from the Champawat assembly seat to pave the way for Dhami to contest by-polls after he lost from the Khatima constituency during the polls held in February.
