Uttarakhand Cabinet: The portfolios of 8 ministers, who took oath in the Pushkar Singh Dhami cabinet, were allocated on Tuesday. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has retained the Home Ministry whereas Satpal Maharaj was awarded with PWD. Dhami was last week sworn in as the 12th chief minister of Uttarakhand at Parade Ground in Dehradun. Apart from Dhami, eight ministers were administered oaths of office and secrecy by governor Gurmit Singh.

Dhami was on March 21 chosen as the leader of the BJP legislative party. His continuation as chief minister had come under a cloud following his loss from Khatima in the recent assembly elections.
The swearing-in ceremony was also attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, and BJP National President J.P. Nadda. Several other high-profile BJP leaders, including many CMs, attended the event. Among them were Yogi Adityanath, Pramod Sawant, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Manohar Lal Khattar, Bhupendra Patel, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Jairam Thakur and Vasundhara Raje.
