CM Pushkar Dhami files nomination

New Delhi: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami filed his nomination papers from the Khatima constituency for the upcoming state assembly elections.

He performed puja at his residence before the nomination process today.

"I always do puja before filing nomination papers. I asked God to show me the right path and sought his blessings."

Pushkar Singh Dhami's mother, Bishna Devi, while expressing confidence in her son's victory, said, "I believe that my son will be Chief Minister again."
