NEAR YOGI ADITYANATH’S VILLAGE IN YAMKESHWAR BLOCK IN GARHWAL, WOMEN ELECTORATES ANNOYED. Say the candidate asks for vote in the name of Modiji and don’t come back to resolve our grievances
The election campaigning in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand is in full swing with all its candidates in hectic campaigning mode in their respective parliamentary constituencies.
( The video below is self explanatory)
Today the prime minister Narendra Modi addressed a massive public meeting in Rudrapur in massive attendence of the electorates and BJP activists including the leaders and parliamentary candidates from various parts of the state sitting on the dias.
(WOMEN OPPOSING SAYING THEY WON’T VOTE AS THERE IS NO ROAD AND CANDIDATE ONLY DURING ELECTION ASKING VOTE IN MODI JI ‘S NAME AND THEN DISAPPEAR LEAVING THEM IN DISTRESS. The electorates expressing their anger and annoyance are from the village adopted by BJP n Anil Baluni while he was Rajya Sabha MP. The electorates say nothing has been done in their village during the past ten years and they will not cast a single vote to the party.Though Baluni is receiving tumultuous welcome elsewhere but in Yamkeshwar block he confronted the anger of women in a village due to the not a single developmental work carried out including a road and sitting MLA Renu Bisht, being controversial since she demolished the Vanantara resort in Yamkeshwar block where Ankita Bhandari was allegedly assaulted and then brutally murdered by pushing her in the Chila lake.)
The prime minister appealed the electorates to stand united becoming proactive in support of their BJP candidates making them victorious in all the five parliamentary constituencies of Garhwal n Kumaon with people raising their hands in unison.

The PM literally took assurance from the electorates asking them to raise their hands in unison in affirmation of they promise to make all the BJP candidates triumphed from all the parliamentary seats to which majority of the electorates agreed by raising their hands towards the dias from where he was addressing them.
However, the high profile BJP candidate from Pauri Garhwal parliamentary constituency Anil Baluni who is actively busy campaigning in various assembly segments of his constituency was today aghast when the BJP women activists including residents of some villages near the village of Uttar Pradesh CM Mr. Yogi , Panchur strongly protested when Anil Baluni and the Yamkeshwar MLA Renu Bisht visited the area with their women followers with BJP flags to seek their blessings. As soon as the women electorates saw the BJP candidate Anil Baluni and MLA Renu Bisht the furious women started asking them to go back saying in anger that these candidates are seen once in five years and then go back after seeking votes in the name of Modiji. We haven’t seen the candidate before when we are in problems. We have no roads, no water to drink and are confronting number of genuine grievances. Nobody turns up when we are in distress but when elections arrive, these candidates come to seek votes in the name of Modiji. What is interesting to note that those opposing were the BJP protagonists in the saffron caps and saffron coloured Patta around their necks, some even holding BJP flags. Some women unambiguously opposing the MLA Renu Bisht and BJP candidate Anil Baluni said that please go back we won’t vote this time. The BJP candidate tried his best to console them and assure that once he is elected he will come to their rescue and resolve their every grievances but the annoyed women were not prepared to agree to their excuses.
Kindly recall that BJP candidate Anil Baluni is contesting the election from Garhwal constituency for the very first time and has been never contested any election, earlier. Therefore he lacks access to the grass root BJP workers and people of Garhwal including experience in carrying out the various developmental works. The women opposing him were from the village Anil being a Rajya Sabha MP has adopted but literally done nothing in terms of its development or bring any road for people’s convenience. He haven’t visited here since the last ten years being stationed in Delhi looking after the political and media affairs of national BJP being in close proximity of all the high profile national leaders including the PM , HM and other central ministers.
The sitting lawmaker from Yamkeshwar assembly constituency Renu Bisht is already a controversial MLA who was the one who had taken a bulldozer to Vanantara resort to demolish it this destroying all the necessary evidence where worked Ankita Bhandari who was brutally killed by Pulkit Arya and his two other accomplices whose father and brother were state minister rank holders from RSS background in BJP government of Uttarakhand. The other two candidates from Garhwal Parliamentary constituency are Ganesh Godiyal from Congress and Ashutosh Negi from Uttarakhand Kranti Dal.
Meanwhile, the Congress leader and former union minister Jairam Ramesh ce down heavily on prime minister Narendra Modi on his Uttarakhand visit referring to Ankita Bhandari brutal murder case in which the alleged culprits belonged to the saffron party with the traumatised parents not getting justice till yet including massive unemployment in Uttarakhand and involvement of culprits belonging to BJP in cheating and recruitment scam of UKSSSC. The Congress leader Jairam Ramesh wrote a long post on social media platform prior to the visit of prime minister Narendra Modi to Rudrapur writing :
Today, PM Modi is visiting the city of Rudrapur in Uttarakhand, a state that has been plagued by rampant unemployment, unprecedented out-migration, crumbling infrastructure, and a deteriorating law and order situation in recent years. We hope that the PM will take this opportunity to address three key questions about why his government has failed to make any meaningful improvements in the state: 1. The BJP government has been disappointingly ineffective in addressing Uttarakhand’s biggest challenges of unemployment and migration. In 2021, an RTI revealed that 5 lakh people have migrated out of the state in the last 10 years – and the rate of migration is only increasing. National Statistical Office (NSO) data from 2020 shows alarmingly high rates of unemployment, with nearly one third of Uttarakhand’s urban youth being unemployed. Where it should be working to address these challenges, the BJP has been callous and counterproductive, with a BJP leader arrested in 2022 in the UKSSSC paper leak scam, which frustrated the hopes and ambitions of 1.6 lakh aspirants. When young protestors took to the streets in Dehradun to demand a CBI probe into paper leaks, they were latchi-charged by the BJP Government. The introduction of the Agnipath scheme has similarly deprived young Uttarakhandis of another possibility for employment. Given this state of affairs, Uttarakhand has experienced a growing number of “ghost villages” which have been abandoned by disgruntled citizens who have given up on their prospects in the state. What is PM Modi’s government doing to stem this mass exodus from the state, to solve the pressing unemployment crisis, or at the least to end this constant stream of paper leaks? 2. It has been more than 18 months since Ankita Bhandari was assaulted and brutally murdered at the Vanantara Resort in Rishikesh. The primary accused in the case is Pulkit Arya, the owner of the resort and son of BJP leader Vinod Arya. Led by Ankita’s mother, protests have been mounting across the state, demanding the arrest of RSS general secretary Ajay Kumar. The victim’s mother has also demanded the arrest of BJP MLAs Renu Bisht and Pramod Kumar after a JCB operator’s signed affidavit revealed that he demolished two evidence-bearing rooms of the resort on their orders. The Chief Minister has repeatedly expressed support for Ankita’s family, and stated that his government is doing “everything in their power” to support the investigation. Yet, last month, a journalist was arrested on a trumped-up charge because he dared to highlight the government’s willful negligence in this matter. What is the PM doing to ensure that Ankita’s family gets justice? Will BJP leaders face any consequences for obstructing justice?

PM Modi touts his government’s infrastructure build-out as a key achievement. Nowhere is this refrain more unconvincing than in Uttarakhand, which has seen multiple disasters in recent years due to haphazard, irresponsible, and corrupt infrastructure development. The town of Joshimath began “sinking” rapidly in January 2023.
Less than a week before massive cracks appeared in the ground, a delegation of residents had tried in vain to raise the issue with the BJP’s Chief Minister, who dismissed their fears as unfounded. This is just one of many hill towns that is at risk because the government has ignored its own experts’ advice and warnings in their rush to award contracts to builders. Latest reports on the Silkyara tunnel collapse, which trapped 41 workers for more than two weeks last November, reveal that the contractor prioritised project completion over safety precautions, neglecting to build basic safety infrastructure like escape routes, an alarm system, and real-time project monitoring. Incidentally, the firm that won the contract for the tunnel donated Rs. 55 crores to the BJP since 2019 – and the BJP, through the National Highways Infrastructure Development Corporation, continues to loyally protect the contractor and reject all reports that criticise the handling of the project. Who is the BJP Government building infrastructure in Uttarakhand for – the contractors or for the people? In a region that is prone to landslides and seismic disasters, what is the BJP government doing to ensure that safety guidelines are not flouted, and public money is not wasted?
