The Congress State spokesman Rajiv Maharshi claimed here that the successful resumption of the Char Dham Yatra on Friday as planned, is a sign of effective work undertaken by the Congress-led State Government since the disaster experienced in June last year.
Addressing the media in Dehradun on Friday, the Congress State spokesman condemned BJP national general secretary Anant Kumar who had alleged that both the Congress Chief Ministers- Vijay Bahuguna and Harish Rawat had failed. Kumar had said this in Dehradun on Thursday. Maharshi said that the timely resumption of the Yatra is proof of the Congress-led State government working efficiently. “life in the affected areas will now come back to normal with the resumption of the Char Dham Yatra as large numbers of people depend on income from trades linked to the pilgrimage. All the BJP leaders should see with their open eyes that the resumption of the pilgrimage has been facilitated by the State Government,” he said. State Congress organising secretary Rajkumar Karnwal, IT cell convener Gautam Dogra and the cell’s vice president Deepak Anand were also present on the occasion.
