Majority of the speakers while paying their heartfelt richest tributes to the martyrs of Uttarakhand expressed their exasperation towards the politicians of the himalayan state for their vision less approach, during the last two decades, not coming true to the expectations of the people and failing on all fronts especially with regard to health, education and job related sectors enabling massive migration to cities, towns and metropolises.
They voiced their immense concern over two national parties for belying the hopes and aspiration of the electorates and urged upon the people to work hard and with dedication to make Uttarakhand self reliant, meeting the aspirations of its inhabitants in true sense for which Uttarakhand was actually carved out of Uttar Pradesh after so much of sacrifices of 46 precious lives.
Formation of uttarakhand is a total flop. And those who were in the forefront of a seperate state are completely responsible for this mess. Only doing andolan and drama makes no sense. What wwere the long term and short term goals ? The onus of implementation of goals were on the founding fathers of uk . Where did thier responsibilities go thereafter. Just forming of seperate state without concrete 30 years of planning either about infrastructure, migration , employment, healthcare etc is stupidity…
By the way please convey my message to Mr. Shri Awasthi not to dirty the Ganga the way they destroyed river Yamuna once they form govt in UK n definately not fool people of UK as they are simple and grounded.
Wishing all the contestants and parties good luck and best wishes
