I have joined the BJP because of the progressive thinking of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat.”He added that since assuming charge, Rawat had “done enough to weed out corruption in Uttarakhand .” “For a long time, my entire team was working in this direction and I am happy to work under the leadership of a person who is determined to wipe out corruption from the system.”On being asked whether he would be offered any party position or ticket to fight elections in future, Chauhan said, “I have joined the BJP unconditionally, and will work as a dedicated party worker.”CM Rawat said Chauhan’s experience and his presence in the party will not only boost the chances of BJP candidate Sunil Uniyal Gama in mayoral elections, but will also brighten the prospects of all 100 ward candidates.“I know Chauhan and his family well.
