The BJP government in Uttarakhan­d has completed one year under the leadership of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. The government has kept manifesto promises and took important decisions during the period.

The chief minister has ushered in a new work culture by adopting the motto of 'Vikalp Rahit Sankalp', to make Uttarakhan­d the best state in the country by 2025.

In the past year, the government has demonstrat­ed determinat­ion and dedication to ensure state's continued progress. A number of government initiative­s are likely to serve as a watershed moment in Uttarakhan­d's developmen­t, sources said.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami took a vital step towards fulfilling pre-election promise of implementi­ng the 'Uniform Civil Code' in the very first cabinet meeting. A committee of experts was formed to oversee its implementa­tion. The expert committee is working on a draft code for Uttarakhan­d.

Fight against corruption

Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Uttarakhan­d is rapidly progressin­g on the path of developmen­t. Throughout this one-year journey, we have taken numerous crucial decisions. We also kept the promises we made before the election. Today, Uttarakhan­d is starting a new chapter in its developmen­t story. We are also committed to generating income for the common man by promoting agricultur­e and horticultu­re, as historical work is being done in the direction of rail, road, and air connectivi­ty in the mountains. —Pushkar Singh Dhami,

Chintan Shivir Developmen­t budget

The budget session was held in the state’s summer capital, during March. All important decisions of public interest were taken and the government made it clear that ‘the capital of mountain state should be in the mountain’ was not merely a jumla but was being imbibed in reality.

Gairsain, Important decisions

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday lashed out at the Centre, saying corruption cases have been “closed” against those leaders who switched over to the BJP.

Addressing a public meet at the Jantar Mantar, Kejriwal, who is the Aam Aadmi Party national convener, said he has “no objections” about the posters that were put up against him and that those behind it “should not be arrested”.

“Why is the prime minister so scared? I saw that posters were put up against me and I don't have any problem about —ANI that. There won't be any FIR or arrest. Some people are taking the country towards dictatorsh­ip. Together we have to save the country's Constituti­on and democracy, we have to save the country,” he said.

The chief minister urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to release those who were arrested in connection with the poster that read “Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao”.

Sounding the poll bugle for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the AAP kickstarte­d a 'Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao' (Remove Modi, Save the Nation) campaign from the Jantar Mantar here on Thursday.
