Amit Shah outlines BJP strategy for Uttarakhand elections

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has announced a strategic blueprint for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to secure a third consecutive term in the upcoming Uttarakhand Assembly elections. Speaking in Dehradun during the state foundation day celebrations, Shah set a target for the party to win more than 65 seats.

The proposed strategy emphasizes grassroots mobilization, micro-targeting, and direct door-to-door outreach to counter local anti-incumbency. Shah highlighted the “double-engine government” model, linking the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to the state’s welfare.

Key developmental priorities mentioned include massive infrastructure investments, such as the Rs 12,000 crore Char Dham all-weather highway and the Delhi-Dehradun economic corridor. Shah also addressed demographic security and migration, noting efforts to create regional employment in tourism and hospitality to prevent youth from leaving border areas.
