Shimla: Present Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami has lost his seat from the Khatima constituency though the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) is all set to win the assembly elections in the state.
The counting of votes for the recently held elections for the 70-member Uttarakhand Assembly commenced at 8 am on Thursday. The five poll-bound states expect their results to be declared later in the day.
However, despite being from the party that seems to win in the state of Uttarakhand, Dhami has failed to impress citizens and eventually lost in his fielded constituency.
Earlier, senior Congress leader Harish Rawat also lost the elections from the Lal Kuan constituency by a major margin.
