BIO DATA OF Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' Uttarakhand

BIO DATA OF Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank'

It’s on the card, sooner or later BJP has to make some face saving exercise after a defeat in recently held general elections. Even after winning and forming a government in Uttarakhand two years ago the BJP fails to win even a single seat from the five seats up for grab in the Lok Sabha Elections. Bhagat Singh Koshiyari adopt the pressure tactics by resigning from Rajya Sabha( later he withdraws it too) but the outgoing Chief Minister must be satisfied with the fact that the new CM Ramesh Pokhriyal is said to be close to Khanduri and is finance minister in his government. Coming from Garhwal region Mr Pokhriyal is a veteran in the politics and except on one occasion get elected in all elections since 1990. He also served as minister in three ministries of UP government. A journalist and poet ME Pokhriyal is also said to be close to RSS and also known for his clean image. Its only irony that the name of B C Khanduri was proposed by B S Koshiyari and seconded by Ramesh Pokhriyal and today he is dethroned by the same duo. Well it’s all about ‘KISSA KURSI KA’
