2026-10-17 · 1 source · Economic Times India

In short

Uttarakhand’s government is holding cabinet meetings in districts outside the state capital. Congress says this is too late and looks like an election tour and a photo opportunity.

Congress state president Ganesh Godiyal says the BJP is going to the people only near the end of its 10-year term. The report does not say which districts were visited or what the cabinet decided.

What the reporting says

Uttarakhand’s government has held cabinet meetings across districts, and the opposition Congress says the move is too late and amounts to election tours and photo opportunities. Congress state president Ganesh Godiyal said the BJP government is going to people’s doorsteps only when its term is ending after 10 years. The reporting does not state which districts hosted the meetings or what decisions were taken.

Why it matters

The Uttarakhand government is holding cabinet meetings across districts outside the state capital, drawing criticism from Congress. Party leader Ganesh Godiyal said the move amounts to election-style publicity and wasteful spending, according to the reporting. The immediate political effect is sharper opposition attack on the BJP government, but the reporting does not identify the districts or any policy decisions from the meetings.
