आपने फ़ौज में अपनी जान की बाज़ी लगाकर देश की रक्षा की। अब उत्तराखंड आपकी ओर देख रहा है। यहाँ की भ्रष्ट राजनीति भी साफ़ करनी है। https://t.co/jJr7gn78Iv — Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) July 1, 2021
In five years BJP ruined Uttarakhand, on this Ajay Kothiyal said that in five years BJP has ruined Uttarakhand. I am fortunate that my party has given me a chance to contest the Gangotri bypoll in front of Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat. He said that I went to many villages of Gangotri. People are very sad. I am sure people will win this time.
पाँच वर्षों में भाजपा ने उत्तराखंड को बर्बाद कर दिया…
मैं सौभाग्यशाली हूँ कि मेरी पार्टी ने मुझे CM @TIRATHSRAWAT के सामने गंगोत्री उपचुनाव लड़ने का मौक़ा दिया है। मैं गंगोत्री के कई गाँवों में गया। लोग बहुत दुखी हैं। मुझे विश्वास है कि इस बार जनता की जीत होगी।
जय हिंद। https://t.co/M5hU95ECav — Col Ajay Kothiyal, KC, SC, VSM (R.) (@ColAjayKothiyal) July 1, 2021
