CM Pushkar Singh Dhami joins roadshow to support BJP candidates in Uttarakhand municipal polls

Addressing a public meeting on the occasion, CM Dhami expressed confidence that a triple-engine government will be formed in all municipal bodies across the state, given the overwhelming public support.

During his roadshow, CM Dhami highlighted his government's initiatives, including the launch of the winter journey in the state, which is expected to boost the economy.

CM Dhami also mentioned that over 19 thousand youths have been provided government jobs in the last three years and emphasised his government's commitment to overall development in areas such as health, education, and infrastructure.

The Chief Minister also assured strict action against those involved in cow slaughter and other activities that hurt religious sentiments, as well as conversion, land jihad, and rioting in the state.

Earlier on Sunday, Dhami held a public meeting in Kashipur city and expressed his support for the BJP candidates of Kashipur in the municipal elections in Sainik Colony, Kashipur, Udham Singh Nagar.

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Dhami criticised the Congress party, accusing it of being deeply involved in corruption.

"The Congress is neck-deep in corruption. Congress candidates in Kashipur are ashamed to put the photos of top leaders of their party on their banners and posters. Even Rahul Gandhi's photo is missing from the banner poster," said CM Dhami.

CM Dhami said that the BJP has always given priority to the development of the state and many welfare schemes are being run for the youth, women, elderly and farmers in the state under the party.

The State Election Commission of Uttarakhand has officially announced the dates for the Municipal Local Body General Elections for the year 2024-25.

The elections will be held for 11 municipal corporations, 43 municipal councils, and 46 Nagar Panchayats across the state on January 23, with the counting of votes scheduled for January 25. (ANI)
