"Confident that lotus is going to bloom everywhere in Uttarakhand": CM Dhami

Nainital (Uttarakhand) [India], March 28 : Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday expressed confidence in the BJP victory in the state saying, "I am fully confident that the lotus will bloom everywhere in Uttarakhand."
"I am fully confident that the lotus will bloom everywhere in Uttarakhand. Modi ji has given the slogan of this time, '400 paar'. This is not just a slogan but his belief. When the results come on June 4, we will achieve this target," CM Dhami said.
He made this statement while speaking at a public gathering in Betalghat held in support of BJP candidate Ajay Bhatt for the Nainital-Udham Singh Nagar Lok Sabha seat.
The Congress has fielded Virender Rawat as its candidate from the Nainital-Udhamsingh Nagar Constituency.
He said, "Our candidate from the Lok Sabha constituency, Ajay Bhatt, has done a lot of work for the state while being a minister at the Center."
Emphasising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's affection for Uttarakhand CM Dhami stated, "Our Prime Minister has a special attachment to Uttarakhand. The central government has approved schemes worth more than one and a half lakh crores for the state. Our government is also dedicated to the development of the region. Today, development works worth Rs 2000 crore have been approved in Nainital. Rs 28 crores have also been approved for the master plan of Kainchi Dham. A substantial amount has been approved for road development in Kaladungi."
"In Dehradun, the Lakhwar dam was not being built for five decades and the Jamrani dam was also not being built, but with the blessings of Modi ji, both of these have been approved," he added.
He said that "a satellite center of AIIMS is being built in Udham Singh Nagar and the land of HMT has also been transferred to us. Under the guidance of the Prime Minister, we have also resolved to develop Uttarakhand."
CM Dhami, while attacking the Congress party in Uttarakhand, said, "The Congresspeople do not know anything. Congress has committed many sins while in power in the state. Their black deeds have tarnished the Devbhoomi."
The Chief Minister said, "We have fulfilled the promise of the Uniform Civil Code made during the elections. We have enacted the country's most stringent anti-copying law. In the past two years, we have provided employment equal to the last 22 years. We have freed government lands from encroachment under land jihad. Anarchy was spread in Banbhulpura, but we sent every person who did this to jail. If anyone creates a ruckus or arson in the state now, we will not spare such people."
CM Dhami praised the decisions made by PM Modi in the last 10 years, stating, "PM Modi has implemented the CAA law, removed Section 370 from Kashmir, and completed the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Surgical strikes were conducted inside Pakistan after attacks within the country. The Ujjwala Yojana has reduced gas prices by Rs 100 and provided three free cylinders to poor families in the state over the last two years. Many people are receiving housing assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana."
He said, "Congress ruled the country for over 60 years but did not work, only engaged in corrupt deeds. I urge the people to ensure a big victory for BJP candidate Ajay Bhatt."

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has a strong presence in Uttarakhand, the BJP has won all five seats in the hilly state in both the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
