The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is a democratic party that has given a simple soldier’s son the opportunity to become prime minister of Uttarakhand, said BJP MLA Pushakar Singh Dhami, who is 11.
Dhami will take the oath as the new Prime Minister of Uttarakhand at 5 p.m. tomorrow at the Raj Bhawan in Dehradun.
Pushkar Singh Dhami spoke to India Today TV for an exclusive interview following his election as Chairman of the BJP Legislature.
“They gave a simple soldier’s son the opportunity to become prime minister of Uttarakhand. The party is my mother,” said Dhami, adding that the party had given him the role of mukhya sevak (main servant).
Regarding the change in leadership in Uttarakhand, he said: “We are a democratic party and we look at the prevailing circumstances. My superiors are more capable than me, but I will try to work with them and move the state forward.”
