Jairam Thakur will be the new Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh
He was elected BJP Legislature Party leader at a meeting on Sunday December 24,2017
Jairam Thakur will take oath on Wednesday December 27,2017
Senior party leader Prem Kumar Dhumal, who was the party’s chief ministerial face but lost the elections from his constituency of Sujanpur, proposed his name, seconded by former Chief Minister Shanta Kumar and Union Minister J.P. Nadda.
With Prem Kumar Dhumal opting out of the race, Jairam Thakur, a MLA from Seraj in Mandi district, and Mr. Nadda were the frontrunners.
A lack of consensus among the newly elected MLAs resulted in the two central observers — Union Ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Narendra Singh Tomar — returning to Delhi from Shimla on December 23 to hold fresh consultation with the central leadership. The observers, who were in the State on December 21 and 22, had taken feedback from members of the State BJP’s core committee, MPs and some MLAs.
“Jairam Thakur will be the BJP legislature party leader in Himachal Pradesh,” Mr. Tomar told
