Dehradun, July 20 -- Union home minister Amit Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi allocated 4.25 times more funds to Uttarakhand between 2014 and 2024 than what the Congress government provided during its tenure from 2004 to 2014. "From 2004 to 2014, the Congress government gave Rs.53,000 crore to Uttarakhand, whereas Prime Minister Modi allocated Rs.1.86 lakh crore between 2014 and 2024....that's 3.5 times more," he said. "In addition, Rs.31,000 crore was allocated for roads, Rs.40,000 crore for railways, and Rs.100 crore for airports. If you add it all up, the BJP government has given more than 4.25 times the amount given by Congress." Shah added, "I want to tell the Congress to stop disrupting the state's development... don't throw bones into the sacred fire. Otherwise, you won't be visible even with a telescope. When the state is progressing, it is the responsibility of every political party to support its development." He was addressing an event in Rudrapur of US Nagar district to mark the grounding of investment of Rs.1 lakh crore under Global Investors Summit. "Bringing investment to hill states is as challenging as climbing a mountain, but Dhami has broken all such notions. With an investment of Rs.1 lakh crore now coming into Uttarakhand, over 81,000 jobs have been created. I would like to extend my congratulations to Dhami and his team...," he said. He said, "CM Dhami struck a balance between industrial development and environmental preservation. He has worked towards ensuring sustainable employment. With transparency in policies, speed in implementation, and foresight in vision, he has laid out a comprehensive road map for the overall development of Uttarakhand." Shah said when people of the state were struggling for the creation of Uttarakhand, the Congress committed atrocities against movement's supporters. Responding to Shah's comments, Suryakant Dhasmana, state Congress vice president, said, "It's merely a numbers game. As the national budget increases, the proportionate allocation to each state also rises and the same has happened with Uttarakhand. This cannot be used to score brownie points by misleading the public."...
