Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami Ranks Among India’s Most Powerful Leaders The growing influence of Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami in Indian politics is evident as he has secured a spot among the 35 most powerful Indians. He has been ranked 32nd in this list, reflecting his rising stature in the country. Let’s explore the key reasons behind his impressive ranking. CM Dhami Ranks 32nd in India’s Power List The Indian Express has released its annual list of the 100 most powerful Indians, where Pushkar Singh Dhami has jumped from 61st place last year to 32nd this year. This significant leap highlights his increasing political influence. What Led to His Higher Ranking? One of the major factors behind his rise is the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand. The Indian Express recognized this as a landmark decision, describing it as a blueprint for other states. Following Uttarakhand’s lead, Gujarat has also set up a committee to explore the implementation of UCC in the state. Credit for Political Stability in Uttarakhand The report credits CM Dhami for bringing political stability to Uttarakhand, which saw three different chief ministers between 2017 and 2022. Under his leadership, the state has now regained stability. His efforts to boost tourism through the National Games have also been praised.
Electoral Success Under Dhami’s Leadership The Indian Express highlights CM Dhami’s role in BJP’s success in the Lok Sabha and local body elections. With these achievements, his next goal is to lead BJP to victory in the 2027 Uttarakhand Assembly elections. Why Is the Indian Express List Important? Every year, the Indian Express publishes a list of the 100 most powerful Indians, ranking individuals from politics, governance, business, entertainment, and sports based on their influence and impact. This year’s top position has been secured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, followed by Home Minister Amit Shah at number two and RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat at number four. The list also includes business tycoons Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and sports icons like Viswanathan Anand, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli. Popular actors such as Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Allu Arjun, and Vijay also find their place, along with several chief ministers from states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh.
