New Delhi [India], November 20 (ANI): After playing 20-20 cricket, Uttrakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami deserves a "full-length five-year test match to deliver his best performance", said Union Defence Minister Rajnath during an event organised in poll-bound Uttrakhand.

The Defence Minister, along with the Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt and Uttrakhand Chief Minister, visited Pithoragarh on Saturday to participate in the Shaheed Samman Yatra where he addressed a public meeting and met family members of martyrs.

"I was shocked to know that in the last four months from the day he was sworn in as Uttrakhand CM, he has taken 400 decisions for the welfare of the state. I was also Chief Minister of a state but taking 400 decisions in such a short span of time is not an ordinary thing," Singh said.

Appreciating the development work done by the CM, the defence minister said," Uttrakhand Chief Minister is young and dynamic and is capable of leading the state to one of the best states in the country."
