PM Modi Has Done The Work Of Protecting Kedarnath Dham: Mos Ashwini Choubey
On Friday, PM Modi offered prayers at the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand and unveiled an Adi Shankaracharya statue
Mumbai: Union Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey on Friday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for working to protect the holy shrine, by introducing the redevelopment projects at Kedarnath.
Remembering the 2013 Uttarakhand floods that damaged the Kedarnath temple in the Rudraprayag district, Choubey said he had also lost his family members in the tragedy.
Speaking to ANI, Choubey said, “I was the witness of the disaster that happened in Kedarnath. 17 people from our family went there but unfortunately only half of us could return. Narendra Modi who was the Chief Minister of Gujarat then and Rajnath Singh played a great role in our safe return.”
“We had seen how the samadhi that of Aadi Guru Shankaracharya was submerged. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the development of Kedari Valley and its surrounding areas is being done. This splashed a new enthusiasm among the people of the country,” he stated.
The BJP leader further slammed the Congress-led UPA government for not doing the redevelopment work of the Kedarnath shrine.
“The previous government had failed to do the work. At that time the whole country was convinced that we would never be able to go to Kedarnath Dham. But it is the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government that is getting all the work done. The Prime Minister has done the work of protecting Kedarnath Dham,” he added.
On Friday, PM Modi offered prayers at the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand and unveiled an Adi Shankaracharya statue in the Rudraprayag district. The Samadhi of Adi Shankaracharya has been reconstructed after its destruction in the 2013 Uttarakhand floods.
The Prime Minister during his visit to Kedarnath also inaugurated various re-development projects worth Rs 130 crores. This is Prime Ministers’ second visit to the temple during his term; the last time he visited the Kedarnath temple was in 2019.
