After the 2013 disaster, Kedarnath Dham was reconstructed, and the master plan for Badrinath Dham is also being worked on. If you go, you will see that the number of pilgrims and devotees has increased very rapidly. Just now, you must have come from Delhi to Dehradun, so you are reaching here in a maximum of two and a half hours. You are reaching Haridwar. You are reaching Rishikesh. So, due to the increase in these facilities, the footfall is very large. And the number is very large. Of pilgrims coming, of tourists coming. If I talk about tourists in the last four years, more than 23 crore tourists have come to Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. So, as you said, it is a challenge for us to conduct everyone's journey in an organized manner. It is a challenge for us to ensure their safety, that their journey is safe. So, we are continuously making efforts on all those parameters, continuously, that the journey of the travelers is good, organized, simple, without any obstacles. So, a large number coming is in itself a very big proof of prosperity. And along with this, see, this journey is not just like a tourist's journey. This is a journey of faith. A journey of devotion. It has two aspects. It is a journey of Sanatan, and for the state of Uttarakhand, this is a lifeline. It is also a very big reason for our economy. So, if the journey is big, then prosperity has definitely come, as you have written in the dialogue.
What is the situation regarding the ropeway? The work of the ropeway... and secondly, what is done this year is done, but do you have some more plans for next year? Although there are actions for next year too. But some things that you feel, that you have thought of, that for the pilgrims of Char Dham, this thing is left to complete, or this is my goal. See, this year also, a very good journey is happening. Yes, this is true. You are not saying it, but it will be in your mind that some people show pictures of crowds, make videos, put them on the internet, and somewhere directly or indirectly oppose this journey for their political benefit. So I have told them many times, I have very humbly requested them that you oppose us, oppose our government, oppose our policies. We will have no problem. But brother, do not oppose the journey of Char Dham. This is a place of Hari. This is the work of Dharma. This is the work of Sanatan. This is the reason for the prosperity of our state. This is a very big reason for our economy. It is a reason for employment. They don't see that brother, hotels are full. People are earning good income in hotels. Taxis are running well. Our homestays are all full. Our women who run self-help groups, the products made by them, people are buying them in large numbers. So, they are getting an identity. Our brands are going across the country and the world. They don't see that. For political reasons, that the journey is not right. There is too much crowd in the journey. We will make a video and put it. Oh brother, people are coming, so we won't send them back. We have said that whoever comes, whoever pilgrims come, we will show them the darshan of the four dhams in an organized and safe manner, and also of other divine places. So this is just opposition, or there is another reason for this too, that you are becoming a big face of Hindutva, and especially in Uttarakhand, all the decisions are taken keeping Hindus in mind. It is said, and it is also said that wherever a madrasa is seen, Dhami ji gets a bulldozer run on it.
No, no, see, they can oppose me. Just now their leader came. He said something and left. He came and left. See, he had to go to Almora. He had to go to Pauri. There was a program in Dehradun for a day, perhaps somewhere here. Oh, I was just hearing that some people were also saying that the Uttarakhand government stopped them, DGCA stopped them, the people of Yugada stopped them. Oh brother, neither do we know which helicopter you are coming in. We did not provide that helicopter. Nor did we give any permission from here that you will come in this helicopter. That must be their contracted helicopter. The pilots will also be theirs. Now, in that, okay, you couldn't go. They said there was no safety, so they didn't go. Okay, you didn't go to Almora, then you didn't go to Pauri either. Oh, the weather was good in Dehradun. You could have gone to Delhi and come back. If you had to go to Delhi and come back from Delhi. If you... they were showing in Andaman on the same day as me. Meaning, they didn't want to stay in Uttarakhand. So, in this way, they can oppose us. Oppose our government. Oppose our party. We accept it. We accept their challenge. But if they oppose Char Dham, oppose Sanatan, try to interfere with our cultural demography here, do appeasement, then we will oppose. But they are coming to help the citizens of Uttarakhand...
