PIONEER EDGE NEWS SERVICE/ Rudrapur Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said that frustrated by repeated electoral reversals, the Congress party is attempting to sow confusion among the public by questioning constitutional institutions. He said that whenever Congress wins any election it sees the electoral system as correct, but when it loses, it terms the same system as flawed. The CM was addressing a public meeting after participating in the ‘ Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao’ march in Rudrapur on Tuesday. The march began from Gandhi Park and returned to Gandhi Park via Bata Chowk, Bhagat Singh Chowk and Hari Mandir. Dhami said that this campaign is a fight between development versus destruction and good governance versus anarchy. He said that this march, which began in Rudrapur, will reach every corner of the State with the message of peace, democracy and development. The CM said that the opposition parties are creating unnecessary controversy on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls. Condemning Samajwadi Party president, Akhilesh Yadav’s remark about the people of Uttarakhand, Dhami said that the honour and self-respect of the State will not be compromised. He also condemned Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his remarks regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s father and Rahul Gandhi’s comments about National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Dhami said that the strength of democracy lies in respect for constitutional institutions, protection of civil rights and public participation. The BJP is moving forward with a commitment to democratic values, good governance, and development, he averred. In his address, the president of Uttarakhand BJP Mahendra Bhatt exhorted the party workers to strengthen the organization and unite with the resolve to form a BJP government in the State for the third consecutive term.
