On Wednesday, Jai Ram Thakur took oath as the chief minister of Himachal Pradesh in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP president Amit Shah and other senior leaders, according to media reports.
The BJP won 44 of the 68 seats in the recently held state Assembly election, and the party, on Sunday, elected 52-year old Thakur, five-time MLA from Seraj constituency, as the leader of the BJP Legislature party in Himachal Pradesh, after its chief ministerial candidate Prem Kumar Dhumal failed to register a win.
