Haridwar (Uttarakhand) [India], March 7 : Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Saturday highlighted that a total of Rs 1 lakh crore worth of investment agreements were implemented last year.
"Through the Global Investors Summit organised in 2023, investment agreements worth Rs 3,56,000 crore were made. We are proud that last year, we succeeded in implementing investment agreements worth Rs 1 lakh crore on the ground," Dhami said while addressing a gathering at the foundation stone laying ceremony of various developmental projects on the completion of 4 years of the Uttarakhand government.
Dhami further praised the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) for writing tales of development throughout the country.
"Today marks the completion of 4 years of the BJP government's second term in Uttarakhand. On this occasion, we have received the guidance of Home Minister Amit Shah. Today, the BJP is the world's largest political party, and we are scripting new tales of development in every corner of India. We have realised the dream of 'Ek Bharat, Shresth Bharat' by abrogating Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. Today, effective checks have been placed on terrorism and Naxalism in the country," he said.
The remarks come at a grand event titled "Jan-Jan Ki Sarkar: Char Saal Bemisaal" held in Haridwar to mark the completion of four years of the state government.

Your leadership, dedicated to the nation's security, good governance, and development, has provided the country with a new direction and strength."
On the occasion, the Chief Minister presented the Union Home Minister with a memento and honoured him with a traditional cap symbolising the rich cultural identity of the state.
