Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], January 21 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami stated on Tuesday that, just as the people of the state elected a double-engine government, they will once again support the triple-engine BJP in the upcoming local body elections.
Speaking to the media, Dhami highlighted the significant support the BJP received in the state and thanked the people for electing a double-engine government.
“The way people of Uttarakhand elected the double-engine government, they’ll also elect the BJP in local elections. I thank all the people as they have always supported the BJP. The public in Delhi will also support our party in large numbers and I believe that BJP will be elected to form a double-engine government in the national capital,” said CM Dhami.
Earlier in the day, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced that the state will soon implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), fulfilling a key promise made to the people of Uttarakhand.
Speaking about the UCC in Haridwar today, CM Dhami stated, “Under the leadership of PM Modi, the UCC was a promise we made to the people of Uttarakhand. The state cabinet has approved the act, and it will be implemented shortly.”
CM Dhami spoke to ANI over the Uttarakhand municipal general elections and said, “Our govt will work like triple engine, so I appeal to the voters of Haridwar, for a much more fast-paced development of ‘Devbhoomi’, make all BJP candidates win.”
“The Congress doesn’t have any topic, they do politics of lies and try to hinder the development works we do. In Uttarakhand, since the Municipal elections are about to take place, they go to slum areas and say that we will remove slums but nothing of that sort is going to happen. We are making Ganga corridor but nobody will be homeless or lose their land,” said CM Dhami.
