Congress looted people's hard-earned money when in power: CM Dhami at election rally in Haryana

Yamunanagar (Haryana) [India], May 16 : Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday accused the Congress of having looted the hard-earned money of the people of the country when the party was in power.
"It's not hidden from anyone that Congress and such parties have looted the hard-earned money of the people of the country. Before 2014, rarely a day passed without any corruption," Dhami said at a public rally in Yamunanagar.
By pointing out the emergency imposed during the Congress government led by Indira Gandhi, he questioned the credentials of the party's commitment to democracy.
"Because of the Modi government's zero tolerance towards corruption, the dynast politicians are in jail or on bail. Because of this strong action by the government, these corrupt politicians, who do appeasement politics, are misleading the people against the Modi government. The Congress who now cry for democracy, once imposed an emergency, committing a lot of atrocities against the people," he said.
He exuded confidence that the BJP will sweep Haryana in the Lok Sabha election.
"We are winning with a huge majority. People are full of enthusiasm, they want to see Modi ji, the Prime Minister for the third time," he said.
While replying to the reporters' questions on Char Dham Yatra, he said that all arrangements are in place for the yatra and that twice as many pilgrims are arriving as compared to previous years.
"There has been some trouble due to the excessive number of devotees but our effort is to overcome them as soon as possible. Pilgrims should start the journey with registration and must follow the rules," Dhami said.
Meanwhile, Uttarakhand Director General of Police Abhinav Kumar held a high-level meeting in the state secretariat on Wednesday over the unexpected rush of devotees coming for the Char Dham Yatra.
"In view of the unexpected crowd at the four Dhams, we have written a letter to the Director Generals of Police of all the states of the country and requested them not to send any VIP from their respective states for the Char Dham Darshan till May 31," Abhinav Kumar told ANI.
Over 26 lakh devotees from all across the country and abroad have registered for the ongoing Char Dham Yatra, said Commissioner Garhwal Division Vinay Shankar Pandey.
"Char Dham Yatra is going on in the state. So far, 26.73 lakh devotees have registered for the Char Dham Yatra... More than 1.42 lakh offline registrations have been done in Haridwar and Rishikesh counters. This time double the number of devotees are coming as compared to last year," he said.
