Dehradun, May 30 (PTI) Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday paid a visit to the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram Kainchi Dham in Nainital district of Uttarakhand.
“A new spiritual energy has flown into me after coming to this sacred place. I feel a mix of piousness, sublimity and spirituality inside me. My sense of dedication to the nation has also deepened,” he said after the visit.
