Dhami’s tenure is distinguished by bold legislative achievements, notably the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in 2024, making Uttarakhand the first state in India to enact this law. This move, praised by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, underscores Dhami’s alignment with the BJP’s ideological goals. BJP youth leader Gaurav Pandey has lauded Dhami, stating, “Dhami ji is the successful Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, and under his leadership, BJP is engaged in building and beautifying Uttarakhand.” This reflects the party’s confidence in his vision. Additionally, Dhami’s government has introduced measures to preserve Uttarakhand’s spiritual heritage, such as restricting non-Hindu participation in the Char Dham Yatra and banning videography within 50 meters of temple premises, reinforcing the state’s identity as “Devbhoomi” (Land of the Gods).
Education reforms under Dhami include integrating the Ramayana and Gita into school curricula to instill cultural values. His administration has also addressed demographic concerns through stringent anti-conversion laws and campaigns against unauthorized religious structures, tackling issues like “land jihad” and “love jihad” without targeting specific communities, as he clarified in a 2025 press conference. These efforts have resonated with his voter base and bolstered his reputation.
Hailing from the Kumaoni Rajput community, the largest caste in Uttarakhand, Dhami remains untainted by allegations of caste favoritism, focusing on inclusive development. His government’s initiatives, including the Char Dham Yatra Authority and infrastructure projects worth ₹188.07 crore in Dehradun, highlight his commitment to a modern yet culturally rooted Uttarakhand. Without relying on self-promotion, Dhami’s results-driven approach has solidified his stature as a principled leader.
