Chamoli (Uttarakhand) [India], July 7 (ANI): Ahead of the assembly by-polls on two seats of Uttarakhand, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami addressed a rally in support of the BJP's Badrinath candidate Rajendra Bhandari and said Congress has become directionless and far away from development which is the reason why Rajendra Bhandari joined BJP.
The public meeting program was organised in support of BJP candidate Rajendra Bhandari in the assembly by-election at the Urgam area of Joshimath in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.
Hitting out at the Congress party, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said, "Rajendra Bhandari has explained in front of us why he joined BJP, it's not because somebody was levying some allegations against him, it is because he couldn't continue development works by being in Congress. He couldn't take his constituency forward. So he joined BJP and is contesting election now."
Calling Congress "directionless", he further stated, "Congress party is now directionless and far away from development. Rajendra Bhandari has chosen development. He joined BJP to take development forward, now he will take this area forward on the path of development."
"The state government is also taking many important decisions under the leadership of PM. Uttarakhand government first implemented equal civil rights. Uttarakhand has become the first state in the country to implement UCC. Strict anti-cheating law has been implemented in the state, due to which now examinations are being conducted with complete transparency in government jobs," said Dhami.
On June 14, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced its candidates for assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
From Uttarakhand, Rajendra Singh Bhandari from Badrinath and Kartar Singh Bhadana from Manglaur have been fielded by the party.
On June 10, the Election Commission of India announced that by-elections to fill vacancies in 13 assembly constituencies of seven states will be held on July 10 and the counting of the votes will be done on July 13.
The Election Commission is to hold by-elections on one seat of Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh, two seats of Uttarakhand, three seats of Himachal Pradesh, and four seats of West Bengal.
These seats were vacant due to the resignations or deaths of the sitting MLAs. (ANI)
