Uttarakhand has become the first state in the country where the Uniform Civil Bill has been passed. Encroachment is being removed from government land. Along with this, 30 per cent horizontal reservation is being given to women. The double-engine government is constantly achieving new records. It is all due to the power of the people's vote that Uttarakhand is going to become the leading state of the country," he said
CM Dhami alleged that Congress promoted the politics of nepotism in the country.
"The rule of one family of one party for 60 years has pushed India backwards. Congressmen do not know how to respect women. Congress has committed the biggest scams in the country. Congress has only three friends. Which are appeasement, corruption, and black money. Congress is not concerned about the welfare of society," he added.
Lok Sabha elections in the five parliamentary constituencies of Uttarakhand will be held on April 19. 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.
