While BJP is fighting the election projecting a younger face in Pushkar Singh Dhami, opposed to Congress which is pinning its hopes on the veteran leader and former CM Harish Rawat. Aam Aadmi fought the Uttrakhand elections for the first time and it will be interesting to note if the party makes inroads in the hill state. The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP is fighting with Col Ajay Kothiyal as the chief minister face in Uttrakhand.
The hill state witnessed a multi-cornered contest with various poll promises trying to woo the voters. BJP's manifesto focused on infrastructural works such as roadways, railways, and air connectivity projects. The reconstruction of the Kedarnath in the last five years was also hailed as a key achievement.
While Congress party raised the issues of inflation, unemployment, and change of chief ministers in quick succession during BJP's term. The new entrant AAP focused on similar promises in Delhi and Punjab such as free electricity, unemployment allowance, and financial help to women.
While Uttarakhand has a history of voting the incumbent government out of power, BJP is looking forward to breaking the trend and seeking a second consecutive term.
