Rahul Gandhi criticised the Dhami-led Uttarakhand government for claiming large investment inflows and job creation, calling the figures mere slogans.
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi publicly rebuked the Uttarakhand state government, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, for announcing substantial investment inflows and promised job creation. He asserted that the touted figures exist only on paper and have not translated into tangible outcomes.
Gandhi labeled the government's statements as mere slogans, urging the administration to move beyond rhetoric and demonstrate concrete implementation of projects. He questioned the transparency of the claimed investments and demanded evidence of actual disbursement.
The criticism came as the Dhami government highlighted recent infrastructure initiatives and pledged employment opportunities for the state's youth. Gandhi urged citizens and stakeholders to scrutinise the promises and hold the government accountable for delivering measurable results.
The Congress party has repeatedly challenged state administrations on development claims, and Gandhi’s remarks echo its broader demand for accountability. No immediate response from the Uttarakhand government was recorded at the time of reporting.
