He pledged to develop the tourist industry and religious tourism in Uttarakhand on a large scale including changing the Badrinath shrine on a wide scale in terms of its overall development investing Rs 500 crores after the massive development of Kedarnath Dham including the overambitious all weather road project in Uttarakhand.

While Union minister Amit Shah will campaign in Garhwal Mandal tomorrow as well, the national president of BJP J. P. Nadda will tour the Kumoan region extensively.

It may be recalled that while the prime minister Narendra Modi held two massively attended meetings in Uttarakhand at Dehradun and Haldwani announcing projects worth rupees 37 thousand crores of rupees, including opening of medical colleges and AIIMS in the Kumaon region with Almora Medical College also granted recognition as the 4 th Medical college of Uttarakhand, the Union home minister Amit Shah and national BJP chief J. P. Nadda are in Uttarakhand covering Garhwal and Kumaon regions having been in Chamoli, Kumaon and Dehradun earlier as well whereas from Congress party’s side there had been a single meeting of Rahul Gandhi at Dehradun parade ground. The two public meetings earlier fixed for 9 th January had to be cancelled due to the Covid and Omicron pandemic.
