For Uttarakhand BJP 11 th March, Thursday was the most significant day as the charismatic prime minister for the saffron party Narendra Modi has commenced his first whirlwind tour of Garhwal region of Uttarakhand by addressing a massive rally at Rishikesh , the holy township a gateway to all the historic destinations of the Himalayan State especially Badrinath, Kedarnsth, Yamunotri and Gangotri. There were all the Uttarakhand’s BJP candidates on the Dias with prime minister Modi including the former chief ministers like Vijay Bahuguna, Dr.Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, Tirath Singh Rawat and ofcource the current CM Pushkar Singh Dhami. The enthusiastic crowd raised Narendra Modi and BJP slogans hailing them and help play cards of Lotus symbol in their hands with prime minister playing the “Damru” and waving towards the crowds jubilantly. Addressing the massive rally with women too in good attendance prime minister was in an attacking mode on the main opposition party Congress accusing it for playing with the nation’s integrity and security by not providing bullet proof jackets to them during wars with our enemy nations. He criticised the previous ruling party for not building a basic n string foundation at the borders of country. He categorically said that had Congress been in power the Ine Rank One Pension Scheme would not have been implemented which his government did fruitfully after coming to power. Attacking the Congress and lauding his double engine government in Uttarakhand prime minister Narendra Modi said that the development processes in the Himalayan state caught speed and referred to the over ambitious ongoing projects of all weather roads and train services from Rishikesh to Karnaprayag being introduced for the first time after independence. He lost no opportunity to count the various developmental projects in terms of spiritual and religious development in Uttarakhand including all weather roads and Rishikesh to Karnaprayag Rail projects including the upgradation of Kedarnath and Badrinath Dhams saying that these good results are being acknowledged due to the positive and transparent approach of the saffron party government. He raised the issue of corruption accusing the previous Congress governments to snatch the rights of the poor and down trodden unambiguously blaming them for eating the budget of the poor. Had there been the Congress government there would have been corruption all round said PM Modi. He said that the Congress government is badly disturbed due to his governments invasion against corruption. Attacking the Congress leader and former chief minister Harish Rawat , though not naming him, PM Modi tried to criticise the Congress for propagating dynastic rule. Kindly recall that Harish Rawat had got tickets for his son despite his daughter already the MLA from Haridwar ( Rural) assembly constituency and his wife having already list from Haridwar when he was CM. Modi said that for Congress and it’s leader everything is confined to families promotion. He also tried to create an environment in the name of Lord Rama and religious issues and targetted the Congress party for expelling those from the party who had gone to Ayodhya on the day of consecration of Ram temple etc. PM Narendra Modi have been saying so in his other public meetings too. He accused and criticized Congress for questioning the existence and spiritual relevance of the pious Ganges. Talking about the developmental India and Uttarakhand he appealed the electorates of Uttarakhand to vote for BJP and ensure their victories on all the five parliamentary constituencies. Those present on the Dias with the prime minister were the Haridwar candidate Trivendra Singh Rawat, Tehri Garhwal candidate Maharani Rajya Lakshmi Shah, Pauri Garhwal candidate Anil Baluni , former CMs Vijay Bahuguna, Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, Tirath Singh Rawat , Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, BJP chief of Uttarakhand , Rajya Sabha MP Mahendra Bhatt and others. While the BJP chief Nadda, PM and several leaders of the saffron party has already started campaigning on a wide scale in Uttarakhand with PM holding massive meeting in Kumaoni, Udham Singh Nagar and Rishikesh and his next meeting at Srinagar Garhwal drawing huge crowds, the Congress leaders Rahul, Priyanka, Sunita and Mallikarjun Kharge are conspicuous by their absence. This is indeed a blow to the Congress candidates who are money less after the accounts of Congress party having been sealed and the party being too slow on advertisement front.
