Political activity in Uttarakhand has centered on the administration of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, involving both party strengthening and emerging public dissent. Initially, the Chief Minister welcomed new national appointments for BJP leaders from the state and engaged in a political dispute with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. Dhami defended the state government against allegations of exam fraud, stating that the administration has jailed over 100 individuals involved in cheating mafias. Subsequently, the political landscape has expanded to include both traditional outreach and digital activism. While the BJP Mahila Morcha highlighted women’s empowerment initiatives, a new wave of Gen-Z digital dissent emerged. A social media group using the name ‘Piza Doctors’ has begun tagging state ministers to demand action on unemployment, education, competitive examinations, and migration, signaling a shift toward social media-driven political engagement. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-27: Uttarakhand: CM Dhami engages with BJP supporters and Gen-Z digital activists Uttarakhand sees a mix of political engagement as BJP leaders celebrate Raksha Bandhan with CM Dhami, while Gen-Z activists launch digital protests on X regarding unemployment and education. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uttarakhand-cm-dhami-engages-with-bjp-supporters-and-gen-z-digital-activists ### 2026-08-17: Uttarakhand CM Dhami welcomes BJP appointments and critiques Rahul Gandhi Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami welcomed four state leaders to the BJP's new national team and criticized Rahul Gandhi's recent political program and claims regarding exam fraud. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uttarakhand-cm-dhami-welcomes-bjp-appointments-and-critiques-rahul-gandhi --- Cite as: Uttarakhand political landscape and activism.
