Uttarakhand’s Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami, stated that, “The Congress only works to spread confusion and oppose good schemes like Agniveer, which offers better opportunities to soldiers. Our double engine government is focused on understanding the state’s needs and delivering real development. Despite natural disasters, we are committed to rebuilding Uttarakhand and making life easier for the people, especially women, with initiatives like 30% reservation.”

Agriculture and Rural Development Minister, Uttarakhand, Ganesh Joshi, said that “From a soldier’s duty to a leader’s journey, my family and I have always served the people. The struggles I faced made me who I am, and Uttarakhand’s vision remains strong. Today, we honor our martyrs and build a state that upholds their sacrifice.”

Finance & Urban Development Minister, Uttarakhand, Prem Chand Aggarwal, emphasized that “The Congress had 60 years in power, yet they never conducted a caste census—so why the need now? On the issue of ‘spit jihad,’ let it be clear that anyone engaging in such practices will not be tolerated. Our government is taking strict action. While we welcome people to come and work in Uttarakhand, we will not allow any instability to take root in our state.”

Minister Of Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, Skill Development & Employment, Uttarakhand, Saurabh Bahuguna, expressed “Carrying forward the legacy of my grandfather and father is both an honor and a challenge. My focus remains on serving the people of Uttarakhand, not seeking the limelight. The faith our people have in BJP and PM Modi inspires every effort we put forth.”

Former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Harish Rawat, remarked “In politics, there are wins and losses, but it’s troubling to lose even after winning. Haryana’s politics has shifted from development to divisions based on caste and religion. The time will come when people stop enjoying slogans and start focusing on real issues. The caste census is necessary as a one-time experiment to understand the true economic conditions of different communities and address their problems.”

The event wrapped up on a hopeful note, outlining an ambitious and progressive vision for Uttarakhand’s future. It offered a crucial forum for thought leaders, policymakers, and specialists to engage in meaningful discussions, fostering collective efforts toward advancing the state’s growth and development.

Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister, Vijay Kumar Sinha, remarked, “Those who once disregarded Gandhi’s principles are now forming parties in his name. Prashant Kishor may claim to build leaders, but in Bihar, true opportunities come to those who selflessly serve the people. Under Nitish Kumar’s leadership, law and order have been restored, and Bihar’s growth is flourishing under the BJP. In contrast, alliances with the RJD lead to chaos. Those who give tickets to criminals have no moral ground to speak on crime. We reject opportunistic politics.”

Bihar’s Water Resources Minister, Vijay Chaudhary, stated, “The people of Bihar will once again bring Nitish Kumar to power. Prashant Kishor’s statements hold no weight. His call to end liquor prohibition isn’t aligned with true public welfare. This year’s unusual floods, exacerbated by record rainfall in Nepal, have made minimizing damage and delivering relief our top priority. Pappu Yadav’s accusations are baseless, and the Bihar government is excelling in its relief operations.”

Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary added, “Organized crime once flourished under Laloo Ji’s leadership during the RJD regime, and it’s disheartening that the same family now speaks on the issue. Nitish Kumar’s decision on prohibition is historic. Prashant Kishor’s use of Gandhi’s name for political gains is regrettable. Though the floods were caused by Nepal’s heavy rains, our robust preparedness ensured Bihar remained stable.”

Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Jha praised Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, saying, “Nitish Kumar has transformed Bihar into a recognized brand, and the state is advancing rapidly. His efforts in developing the Darbhanga Airport and restoring Bihar’s historical glory are commendable. Under his leadership, significant progress has been made in infrastructure, power, and law enforcement, and Bihar is poised to rank among the top 10 states in the future.”

The event concluded on an optimistic note, with a forward-looking vision for Bihar’s future. The summit provided an opportunity for thought leaders, policymakers, and experts to collaborate on shaping the state’s development and progress.
