Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced a ‘Loktantra Bachao...’ campaign in Uttarakhand on Thursday, as the Congress began its ‘Nyaya Yatra’ in the state.
Dhami used the development to attack the opposition party, saying its series of electoral defeats started decades before Gyanesh Kumar assumed office as CEC.
Dhami’s criticism of Congress
According to Dhami, Congress should focus on rebuilding its relationship with voters after repeated defeats. Instead, he said, the party was targeting constitutional institutions.
The chief minister’s remarks came on the day Congress launched its ‘Nyaya Yatra’ in Uttarakhand. The available report does not provide further details about the route, schedule or stated demands of the yatra.
The exchange places the 2 campaigns at the centre of the state’s political debate. Congress’s yatra and Dhami’s announced campaign represent competing political messages, while the chief minister’s remarks focus on the party’s electoral record and its criticism of constitutional bodies.
