“Several Bengali families live here. I want to congratulate Pushkar Singh Dhami that they decided to remove ‘Poorvi Pakistan’ mention from the caste certificates of rehabilitated Bengalis,” he said.

Throwing light on the BJP’s mission for Uttarakhand, Prime Minister Modi said: “We are constructing highways and airports here. Under ‘Parvat Mala’, ropeway connectivity will be provided in the remote areas via the national ropeway development programme.”

“New medical colleges and degree colleges will be opened,” he added reaching out to the youth.

Prime Minister Modi further said that his government provided support to the poor during Covid-19 via free ration and several other schemes.

“Corruption would have taken place if the Congress was ruling the state,” he said.

The hill state will go for polls in a single phase on February 14 and the results will be declared on March 10.

In the 2017 Uttarakhand Assembly elections, the BJP had won 56 out of the total 70 seats. The Congress party bagged just 11 seats.
