Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 08 accused Congress of not treating Uttarakhand well when they were in power. He said that they never thought of the state becoming a center for pilgrimage and tourism.

Virtually addressing a ‘Vijay Sankalp Sabha’ in Uttarakhand, the PM said, “Congress' intention and loyalty can be figured out with their election campaign and slogans. They were in power in Delhi and UP for years, used to travel to Uttarakhand for leisure, but never thought of its pilgrimage, tourism, or Chardham. Villages got empty, people migrated.”

“Whatever they do will be for a family's benefit,” added the PM.
