Uttarakhand Election

Sources suggest that Gujarat may follow Uttarakhand's lead and implement the Uniform Civil Code before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. If Gujarat proceeds with this decision, it will become the second state in the country to adopt the Uniform Civil Code.

Following the BJP's victory in the recently ended Uttarakhand Assembly election, the newly elected MLAs will take their oath of office on Monday at 11 am in the Vidhan Sabha in Dehradun.
 

BJP's win at the Gangotri constituency has reminded people of the age-old myth that revolves around this constituency since the time of undivided Uttar Pradesh.

BJP got a big jolt on Thursday when it lost two of its key constituencies, including that of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. Now the question that arises in front of BJP is that who will be its CM candidate?

The Congress is the biggest loss-sufferer with a collective lead on less than 60 seats across the five states. 

Many exit polls in Uttarakhand predicted a hung Assembly.

"Authorised polling agents of the political parties are allowed to come inside the counting centre. There is no question of EVM tampering," said CEC Sushil Chandra.

In the 2017 elections, BJP swept it with winning 56 seats, further forming the government led by Trivendra Singh Rawat. It gained 26 more seats than the 2012 elections. Congress, on the other hand, lost 21 seats and won hardly 11 seats.

The constituency of Haridwar Rural is of high importance, especially to Congress. This is because former CM and Congress stalwart  Harish Rawat's daughter, Anupama Rawat will be contesting from here.

BJP's state president Madan Kaushik has won from the Haridwar seat with a huge margin.

BJP's Mohan Singh Bisht has won from the Lalkuan seat, beating former CM and Congress stalwart Harish Rawat.

Aam Aadmi Party’s CM candidate Ajay Kauthiyal is contesting from the Gangotri constituency against BJP’s Suresh Singh Chauhan and Congress’s Vijaypal Singh Sajwan.

BJP’s Prem Chand Aggarwal has created a record by winning the state assembly elections from Rishikesh for the fourth time in a consecutive row.

Chief Minister and two-time sitting MLA from Khatima, Pushkar Singh Dhami has lost the battle to Congress's Bhuwan Chandra Kapri. Khatima was the constituency that was the bastion of the eight-month-old chief minister.

Dhan Singh Negi who previously won the seat from BJP’s ticket is contesting from Congress this year.
