PM appeals to state voters to elect BJP for growth

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday slammed Uttarakhand’s Congress government, accusing it of lacking political will for development, and urged the electorate to vote for BJP for the state’s growth.

Addressing a rally here, he said Uttarakhand has huge potential in tourism and industries sectors capable of generating maximum employment and it needs an honest government to tap that.

He again invoked former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee during whose tenure the state was created, saying he had tried to develop the state but he faced difficulties.
