Speaking on the occasion, the minister averred that Uttarakhand is witnessing all-round development under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. Maharaj further said that considerable work is being done on roads, irrigation, tourism, empowerment of Panchayats, women empowerment, education, health, child development and culture, among other spheres. “The benefit of various government schemes is reaching the person on the last rung of the social ladder. Prime Minister Modi’s guarantee is being appreciated not only in India but also abroad. The people of the nation have decided to ensure that the BJP achieves its aim of winning more than 400 seats in the Lok Sabha elections so that Modi serves as the Prime Minister once again,” the minister said.
