Took command of Uttarakhand for the first time in 2007
Bhuvan Chandra Khanduri became the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand for the first time in the year 2007. Under his leadership, many major decisions were taken regarding administrative reforms and transparency in the state. He gave priority to road construction, accountability in government work and control of corruption.
His working style was considered very strict. This was the reason why he became popular among the general public as an honest and strong administrator. However, after the party’s poor performance in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, he resigned from the post of Chief Minister, taking moral responsibility.
‘Khanduri hai zari’ became a popular slogan
In the year 2011, the BJP leadership once again expressed confidence in him and made him the Chief Minister again. Even in his second term, he maintained a strict stance against corruption. His efforts regarding transparency and good governance in government schemes were greatly appreciated.
During this time the slogan ‘Khanduri hai zari’ became very popular. This slogan became a symbol of his honest and strict image. There have been very few leaders in the politics of Uttarakhand who have been accepted by the public with such trust and respect.
