Before Pushkar Singh Dhami took the oath as the chief minister of Uttarakhand on Sunday, an old tweet of 2015 has tumbled out creating an uproar on Twitter to much embarrassment of the new chief minister. The map of 'Akhand Bharat' tweeted by Dhami includes neighbouring countries while India's map is not correct as it does not show Ladakh and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, Twitter users said. Shouldn’t BJP be making this man Foreign Minister of India rather than CM of a tiny state like Uttarakhand? Not only Twitter, but several international organisations had also drawn the ire of the government for misrepresenting India's borders. Pushkar Singh Dhami will be the third chief minister of the hill state since March as in quick succession the state saw the chair being shifted from Trivendra Singh Rawat to Tirath Singh Rawat and now to Pushkar Singh Dhami, who has never been a Cabinet minister but has been associated with the party, the RSS, ABVP for over three decades.
