Harish Rawat: Vikas has gone on holiday in Uttarakhand

Former chief minister of Uttarakhand Harish Rawat said on Friday that the 'Vikas' (developemnt) has gone on a holiday during BJP ruling as BJP as failed to deliver on all fronts.

“Nothing is being done by any government department. Be it education, irrigation, public works or any other department. Each of them has come to a standstill. Vikas in Uttarakhand has virtually gone on a holiday,” the senior Congress leader told reporters.

Slamming the BJP government over the claims that “vikas karya (development works) was suffering due to paucity of funds,” Rawat said that his government had left enough money in the state exchequer, to meet needs for at least four months. He all alleged that no fresh revenue collection had been made by the present dispensation during that period.

"They have failed to manage the state’s finances well which is why the development is getting hampered,” Rawat said.
