Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that the Cabinet meeting discussed the framework of the campaign. He said that various programmes would be organised effectively in Uttarakhand along the lines of programmes planned at the national level. During the campaign, the government’s decisions and achievements will also be communicated to the general public.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a special affinity for Uttarakhand. He said that the resolve of a Developed India can be achieved sooner only when every citizen of the country considers it their own resolve and contributes towards it. He noted that several important achievements have been recorded during Prime Minister Modi’s 25 years of public life, from his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat to becoming the Prime Minister of the country. Various programmes highlighting these achievements will also be organised during the campaign.

Ministers in charge will also be given responsibility for coordinating activities in their respective districts.
