While addressing a public meeting organized in support of candidate Anil Baluni from Garhwal Lok Sabha seat at Ramlila Maidan, Dhami said that this time there is a discussion of crossing 400 in the whole country. The country has always given a huge majority in the Lok Sabha elections led by the Prime Minister.


Union Minister Smriti Irani asked people whether they would vote for a party (Congress) that rejected the invitation for the 'pran pratishtha' of the Ram temple. "Will any of you vote for the ideology of the Congress party that considers Hindus as terrorists?" asked Irani.


Addressing the people, BJP leader Anil Baluni said, "I want to assure you that I will not back down on my efforts for the people of the region. I will work with full dedication for the welfare of the society."
