Congress will go among the public with these issues
Uttarakhand Congress President Karan Mahara has claimed that the Congress is going to register a hundred percent victory in the Kedarnath by-election. The people there are troubled by the chaos of the Chardham Yatra. During the Chardham Yatra, the people of Garhwal work hard and earn money. With that money, they take care of their families for the entire 12 months.
People who earn their livelihood from the Yatra are also considered the backbone of the economy, but the devotees coming for the Yatra are not stopping at the Yatra halts and are returning to their states after darshan. This has affected the income of the residents there. Due to the disaster, the roads on the Kedarnath route are in a bad condition.
The business of the traders there has been badly affected, but the BJP government is not paying any attention to this. Due to this, there is a lot of resentment against the BJP among the people there. He said that CM Dhami made 38 announcements for the Kedarnath assembly just before the elections, but the same work could have been done during the time of late MLA Shailarani Rawat. Deploying its 5 ministers for the Kedarnath assembly is an indication that the BJP is scared of the Kedarnath by-election.
