BJP repeats 2014 Uttarakhand sweep, retains all 5 seats

Other BJP winners were Ajay Tamta from Almora, Tirath Singh Rawat from Garwhal, Ramesh Pokhriyal from Haridwar and Maha Raja Laxmi Shah from Tehri Garwhal. State BJP president Ajay Bhatt claimed that the ruling party won all the five seats owing to the policies pursued by PM Modi. 'The entire credit for that goes to the pro-poor policies and development agenda Modiji pursued.' Congress spokesperson MD Joshi alleged that Modi failed to address crucial issues like unemployment and farmer distress. 'Yet, the people got carried away by his jumle baji [false promises],' he said.
