Who is Jai Ram Thakur? the next Himachal CM
Jai Ram Thakur was on Sunday formally elected Himachal Pradesh chief minister, ending days of prolonged deliberations over the selection of the candidate.
Who is Jai Ram Thakur?
Thakur, a five-time MLA from Seraj in Mandi district enjoys a strong backing of the RSS and a section of BJP MLAs in Himachal.
The 52-year-old leader was previously part of Dhumal's cabinet and also worked as the president of the BJP state unit. Thakur is perceived to be a non-controversial pick due to this low-profile.
Appointment of Thakur will mark a generational shift in the state politics which saw the successive administrations of Congress' Virbhadra Singh and BJP's Dhumal.
It was during Jai Ram's term as BJP state president in 2007 that the BJP had won seven out of 10 seats from the Congress-dominated Mandi district.
Jai Ram Thakur is considered close to JP Nadda and hence enjoys support of top BJP leadership. Party has performed strongly in the Mandi belt by winning 9 out of 10 seats in the region.
But Jai Ram Thakur lacks a pan-Himachal appeal and may not be a popular choice among the newly elected MLAs.
