If Satpal Maharaj and Dr. Dhan Singh Rawat, who are said to be involved in the race for the Chief Minister, do not get a chair, then it is considered certain to become a minister. The claims of former cabinet ministers Ganesh Joshi, Rekha Arya, Arvind Pandey also seem solid.Ritu Khanduri can be entered from women quota as new faces, while senior MLAs from Garhwal Munna Singh Chauhan, Pritam Panwar are also in line. The numbers of Khajandas and Chandan Ram Das can also be taken from the Dalit quota. Accordingly, the cards of some ministers who were included in the old cabinet may be cut.
