Pushkar Singh Dhami is an Indian politician from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), currently serving as the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand. Born on September 16, 1975, in Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, Dhami took office as Chief Minister in July 2021 and has since focused on issues such as infrastructure development, disaster management, and promoting tourism in the state. Known for his dedication to the welfare of Uttarakhand’s people, Dhami has prioritized initiatives to improve governance and enhance public services.

In April 2024, BOOM fact-checked a viral video that claimed to show Dhami distributing money in exchange for votes.

BOOM’s investigation revealed that the video was actually from 2022, when members of the Aam Aadmi Party accused Dhami of vote-buying. This fact-check clarified that the video was old and helped prevent the spread of misinformation related to electoral practices in Uttarakhand.
