Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has described Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami as a “Dhurandhar” (a seasoned and formidable leader), expressing confidence that he will lead the BJP to a decisive victory in the 2027 Assembly elections.
Addressing a public rally in Haldwani, Singh recalled that during the 2022 Assembly elections, he had referred to Dhami as “Dhaakad.” Now, ahead of the 2027 polls, he said Dhami has evolved further and is both “Dhaakad” and “Dhurandhar.” He also used a cricket analogy, stating that the Chief Minister is preparing to hit an electoral “six” in 2027.
