In Uttarakhand the victory margin of four BJP candidates is more than three lakh each

The celebrations by the BJP chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, his entire cabinet, party leaders and workers in Uttarakhand and all the winning candidates are over for now but this one sided victory in the Uttarakhand Himalayas for the third time in succession since 2014 till now has proved home the point the the saffron party is undoubtedly an invincible factor in the hills of Uttarakhand.

Not only had the BJP sweeped the 2014 parliamentary elections winning all the five seats then, it also win the 2017 state elections with a thundering majority gaining a record of 57 seats in the state assembly leaving just 13 for Congress followed by a re victory this time as well, never ever witnessed in the parliamentary elections history of the state since the year 2000 when Uttarakhand came into separate existence.

The pro Modi wave was so ramphant in all these three elections since 2014 that the saffron party achieved three consecutive success rendering the Congress party in a politically non entity position. Both the present n former minister of UK n state presidents have lost this time viz Pritam Singh n Harish Rawat leaving Congress party of nowhere in the state. The margin of the victory is in lakhs making it abudanlyclear that people had voted for prime minister Narendra Modi n national security, thus diluting the state’s anti incumbency factor.

In Nainital from where the former CM n AICC general secretary Harish Rawat was pitted by Congress party against the BJP’s state president Ajay Bhatt, the former being a seasoned national leader lost by a massive margin of more than three lakh votes. It was in this constituency that prime minister Modi has addressed two huge public meetings n raised theissue of the pride of defence forces post Pulwama. In the previous election of 2014 it was the party’s veteran n former Uttarakhand CM Bhagat Singh Koshiyari who scored a comfortable victory against the Congress’s sitting MP n Asian Weight lifting champion K C Singh Bawa, who was then the sitting MP from this seat.

Therefore being a new comer Ajay Bhatt gave a strong n formidable fight to Harish Rawat n won the seat by more than 3 lakh votes’ margin, attributing his victory to the dynamic pro peoole leadership of prime minister Modi.

From Almora parliamentary constituency the union minister of state for textiles Ajay Tamta defeated his nearest rival of Congress Pradeep Tamta by 2, 37, 000 votes. Pradeep Tamta is also quite popular in the area having been associated with number of movements of the hills but due to existing Modi under current n other factors every logic of his got diluted giving Tamta a golden opportunity to repeat this time as well. Pradeep Tamata is a sitting Rajya Sabha MP from Uttarakhand and is the protege of Harish Rawat.

BJP’s Ajay Tamata’s humble nature and his incessant connect with the local populace n carrying out number of development projects including opening of air n train services has added to his advantage apart from theModi undercurrent. The important Pauri Garhwal lok sabha seat has been won by BJP’s former minister in UK n state president Tirath Singh Rawat, earlier held by retired Major General Bhuvan Chand Khanduri. Rawat defeated Khanduri’s foreign returned son Manish Khanduri by a huge margin of 3 lakh 3 thousand votes.

Manish Khanduri had joined Congress at the nick of the time protesting against the shabby treatment meted out to his father BC Khanduri. From Tehri Garhwal constituency BJP’s sitting MP Maharani Lakshmi defeated the present Congress president Pritam Singh with a massive margin of more than three lakh votes. Although there were general annoyance against the Tehri Maharani Rajya Lakshmi for not having been accessible to the voters during the last five years n Pritam Singh sounded as a heavy weight who never lost assembly election from Chakrauta for the last 25 years but against being the heavy Modi under current he too lost with a huge margin. Moreover, being from the Royal family people of theinteriors of Tehri Garhwal constituency have special, respect n soft corner for them. It was because of this very reason that his late father in law Maharaja Manvendra Shah won from here for five consecutive terms on BJP ticket.

Similarly the sitting BJP MP n former Uttarakhand CM Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank defeated his nearest Congress rival Ambrish Kumar by 2 lakhs 57 thousand votes. The BSP candidate in the fray minussed the Congress party’s SC ST n minority vote bank to some extent giving the benefit to Nishank.

Dr. Nishank is considered to be a manipulater who’s reputation to some extent was at stake due to some charges of irregularities during his tenure as CM but Modi wave has finally re elected him as the other four in Uttarakhand. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank has written several books and is a poet as well having been felicitated with literary honours good number of times.
