Dehradun, March 9 -- Union Home Minister Amit Shah endorsed the governance approach of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami at the rally held in Haridwar on Saturday to mark four years of the present BJP government's term in Uttarakhand. During his visit, he also inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of development projects worth Rs 1,129 crores. There was a significantly large turnout at the rally, which indicates there remains a motivated support base for the party and the government, despite the perceived shortcomings regarding delivery at the grassroots.

There is still a year to go for the next assembly elections in the state but Shah's visit is also being looked at from the point of view of early preparations for the coming contest...
