Uttarakhand CM Dhami responds to opposition's legislative queries during special Assembly session; reiterates 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' commitment

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami responds to opposition queries in special Assembly session, assures Anganwadi worker hikes and minority education reforms.

"Outdated practices and regressive mindsets will not be encouraged in the state. - Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, April 28

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, on Tuesday, during the special session of the Assembly, responded candidly and with factual clarity to questions raised by opposition MLAs. The Uttarakhand CM asserted that "outdated practices and regressive mindsets will not be encouraged in the state."

On the issue of honorarium hikes for Anganwadi workers, the Chief Minister stated that his government has previously increased their remuneration and remains aware of their expectations. He assured that positive decisions in this regard will continue to be considered in the future.

Addressing madrasa education and the education of minority children, he emphasised that "outdated practices and regressive mindsets will not be encouraged in the state."

He added that minority children will be integrated into the new education policy to ensure equal opportunities and a better future. He also noted that it is the responsibility of public representatives to convey the right message to society, while the government continues to work with the commitment of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas."

Taking a sharp dig at the Congress over the Char Dham Yatra, the Chief Minister alleged that the party is attempting to malign the sacred pilgrimage for political gains. He termed it unfortunate to politicise such an important symbol of the Sanatan faith.

Earlier on Saturday, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami listened to the grievances of citizens who had come from across the state at the Chief Minister's Camp Office, Mukhya Sevak Sadan. He interacted directly with the public, took their concerns seriously, and resolved several cases on the spot

The Chief Minister issued directions for swift action on matters related to roads, drinking water, healthcare, education, and financial assistance. He instructed officials to ensure time-bound and effective disposal of public grievances on a priority basis. He also emphasised that there should be no unnecessary delays in resolving issues and that regular monitoring of each case must be ensured.

He stated that the government's objective is to make governance more sensitive, accountable, and transparent so that people receive prompt relief. He added that public hearings serve as a strong bridge between the government and citizens, enabling quick resolution of issues while continuously improving administrative functioning.

Good to see the CM addressing madrasa education reform. But 'outdated practices and regressive mindsets' - are we talking about specific curriculum changes or something broader? Would like more clarity. Still, integrating minority kids into NEP is a progressive step. 🤔

The way Dhami ji shut down Congress over Char Dham Yatra politics was chef's kiss 😤. Sanatan faith is not a political football for petty games. And that public hearing at Mukhya Sevak Sadan - direct interaction, on-spot resolution, time-bound follow-up. This is how governance should work!

Honestly, the opposition needs to stop this childish drama. Dhami ji has clearly shown he's willing to listen, but Congress keeps crying wolf. That said, I hope the government simultaneously focuses on real issues like healthcare access in remote areas of Uttarakhand. Promises mean nothing without ground-level implementation.

I appreciate the emphasis on 'sensitive, accountable, transparent' governance. The public hearing system sounds promising - but I've seen similar claims before. Let's see if they actually monitor cases and don't just file them away. The roads and water issues in our village are still pending! 😕

Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas - beautiful words. Now let's see if they translate to actual development in the hilly regions. The CM's direct interaction model is good, but we need systematic change, not just case-by-case solutions. Also
