Five-time MLA Jairam Thakur is all set to be the next Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh. Thakur was elected as the state
legislature party chief on Sunday after a meeting between the party’s central observers and newly-elected MLAs and other
party leaders in Shimla.
BJP’s earlier choice for the post of CM, Prem Kumar Dhumal, proposed Thakur’s name during the meeting and it was
supported by Union Minister J P Nadda and former chief minister Shanta Kumar.
Former CM Prem Kumar Dhumal proposed Jairam Thakur to be elected as the Legislature party leader. Shanta Kumar
and JP Nadda also supported this proposal, Tomar said while addressing the media.
Dhumal lost the Sujanpur seat in the recently concluded assembly elections which hurt his chances of returning as chief
minister.
Thank you.
