What’s most interesting is the fact that Congress general secretary n member Congress Working Committee considered to be arch rival of PM Narendra Modi n BJP Harish Rawat has also heartily congratulated Dr. Nishank but with a statement ridiculing the new n part 2 NDA government of Narendra Modi.

The former minister of state for textiles Ajay Tamata, who has been completely sidelined this time, despite his marvellous victory by a margin of three lakh votes against his Congress rival and sitting Rajya Sabha MP Pradeep Tamata has in a tweet heartily congratulated Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank on his new assignment as a cabinet minister and said that his social and political experience will eastablish milestones in the development of the country and Uttarakhand as a whole.
