We need to develop Uttarakhand and take it to the forefront and therefore, the central government is doing everything to make this possible."

Reiterating his promise of making India world's "third-largest economic power", he said, "People’s income will increase, they will get employment opportunities, and facilities will improve."
"I earlier said that the AIIMS satellite centre would be built here, and I fulfilled this guarantee. I said that this decade will be the decade of Uttarakhand. Therefore, every vote of yours on ‘Lotus’, will strengthen this resolution,” he added.
