Haldwani, Sep 9 (PTI) BJP president Nitin Nabin on Wednesday rallied party workers, urging them to gear up for the upcoming Assembly polls with full strength and unity, asserting that the coming decade will belong to Uttarakhand.

Addressing the workers here, Nabin said that ‘Devbhoomi’ of Uttarakhand would continue to progress under the BJP leadership and exuded confidence that the party would register a massive victory in the state election in 2027.

“This decade will belong to Uttarakhand,” Nabin said.

He called upon party workers to take the achievements of the central and state governments to the masses and to strengthen the organisation at the booth level.

Nabin also accused Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge of engaging in divisive politics and hatching political conspiracies “even in Uttarakhand, a land known for penance and spiritual devotion.” “The state of Uttarakhand was formed under the leadership of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Today, the central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strengthened the road network right up to the country’s borders and prioritised national security,” Nabin said.

He also accused the Congress of consistently insulting Dalits during its tenure.

His remarks come against the backdrop of Congress’s demand for an FIR against people responsible for the “purification” of a venue in Haldwani after Kharge, a Dalit, gave a speech there.

The local police on Tuesday filed an FIR against unknown persons under sections 196 and 299 of the BNS, as well as Section 3(1)(r) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, based on a complaint of Congress leader and advocate Anju Arya at the Haldwani Police Station.
