Uttarakhand Assembly Polls 2022: BJP works with motto, PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress on Friday (February 11, 2022), saying that while the BJP government follows the motto of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas,' the opposition parties follow the principle of 'divide everyone, loot together.'

PM Modi asserted during a Vijay Sankalp Sabha at Almora's "Simkeni Maidan" that voters always support parties with good intentions to carry out developmental projects and ensure the welfare of the people.

He said, "After first phase of polling in the Uttar Pradesh elections yesterday, it`s clear that the BJP will win with record mandate. More than us, people in this election are determined to make the BJP win the polls. Voters never leave those who have good intentions."

The Prime Minister also chastised the previous government for ignoring Uttarakhand's border villages, tehsils, and districts.

He said, "In the earlier governments, the border villages, tehsils, districts of Uttarakhand were ignored. The BJP government has made a plan for the development of the border area. For these border areas, we have made a `Vibrant Village` scheme," 

"This decade belongs to Uttarakhand; don`t let this opportunity pass. Recently, projects worth Rs 17,000 crores were inaugurated in the state," he further added. He declared that this decade belongs to Uttarakhand and encouraged people not to miss out on the chance.

Uttarakhand, he claimed, has now progressed along the path of development. "The state is getting a new identity. The manifesto issued by the BJP is also full of the new energy of development," he said. The Char Dham all-weather road, according to PM Modi, will benefit the Tanakpur-Pithoragarh portion.

"Our government is working with the motto, `Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas`. But the formula of those who oppose us is - `Divide everyone, loot together`! The policy of the Congress in the whole country has been divide and loot together," he says. 

The government has suggested the 'Parvatmala Scheme' to develop ropeways for mountainous areas, according to the Prime Minister.

"I recognise the power, good intentions, sincerity of people of Uttarakhand. In this Union Budget, we have proposed `Parvatmala Scheme` to build ropeways for hilly areas. We`ll build modern roadways and transport infrastructure in the state," he said.

The opposition sought to create a schism between Kumaon and Garhwal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked, but the double engine government tried to perform double duty for both since Uttarakhand is a 'Devbhoomi' for the BJP.

If the BJP gets re-elected in Uttarakhand, PM Modi promised growth in the tourism sector.

"After March 10, Dhami Ji`s government will work aggressively to further develop the tourism sector in Uttarakhand. You (public) have to decide whether you want in power those who promote `Paryatan` (tourism) or `Palayan` (migration)," he said.
