Congress is criticized by Pushkar Dhami.
Dhami stated, “During Congress rule, vote-bank politics tampered with Devbhoomi’s identity, leading voters to repeatedly oust them for this unforgivable offense.”
The development vision of the BJP
“There is complete confidence that the double-engine government’s historic development projects will gain public approval once more,” CM continued. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will achieve a hat-trick of triumphs in 2027.
Significance of the Export Index
Exports are emphasized in the NITI Aayog report as a major economic engine that generates foreign currencies, improves global value chain integration, and reduces trade deficits. The lead of Uttarakhand creates opportunities for new investments and industrial growth.
