Uttarakhand Congress MLA Throws Microphone, Challenges CM Dhami in 2027
· India · Indian Express
A political confrontation erupted at the Jauljibi fair in Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh district when Congress MLA Harish Singh Dhami threw a microphone and confronted sound staff on stage. The Dharchula MLA alleged that his microphone was switched off under pressure from the government after Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami left the venue. Dhami stated he wanted to raise unfulfilled development promises, the condition of local roads, and the recent death of an eight-year-old child in a road accident. He subsequently challenged the Chief Minister to contest against him in the 2027 Assembly elections from Dharchula. The incident followed the inauguration of the fair at the confluence of the Kali and Gori rivers on the India-Nepal border.
Why it matters
The public confrontation highlights growing political tensions between the ruling government and opposition legislators in Uttarakhand over local development issues and infrastructure grievances ahead of the 2027 elections.
