Thakur was a cabinet minister in the BJP ministry in the hill state. He was Minister of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj. He was elected to the Assembly from Mandi and had won his first election in 1998.

Prem Kumar Dhumal, the original chief ministerial candidate, lost to the Congress’s Rajinder Rana.

Dhumal won 18,559 votes while Rana bagged 21,492.

With the BJP CM nominee Prem Kumar Dhumal ending in a defeat in the assembly polls, the coveted post of the state is likely to see a toss-up between Thakur and Union Health Minister JP Nadda. ANI
