Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has stated that India is managing the fuel crisis well despite the ongoing conflict in West Asia. He added that the Centre, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has successfully navigated the challenges posed by the crisis.
Singh made these remarks while addressing a gathering in Haldwani to mark four years of the Pushkar Singh Dhami-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Uttarakhand.
He emphasized that the world is going through a difficult period, with wars and tensions escalating in different regions, and that such conflicts cannot be resolved through war. Singh also highlighted the efforts of the Centre to mitigate the crisis through dialogue and diplomacy.
The Defence Minister praised the Dhami government for its unprecedented development works and expressed confidence that the BJP would form the government again with a two-thirds majority in the next Assembly elections.
Singh also highlighted the key infrastructure projects undertaken by the Uttarakhand government, including the Char Dham all-weather road, the Rishikesh–Karnaprayag railway project, and the Delhi–Dehradun Expressway.
He also mentioned the welfare measures implemented by the government for ex-servicemen and families of deceased servicemen, including enhanced financial assistance and reservation benefits.
Singh further stated that Uttarakhand has implemented the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), calling it a bold and historic decision.
He also took a swipe at the Opposition, alleging that the Congress tends to question institutions after electoral defeats instead of introspecting.
