He is challenged by Ganesh Godiyal of the Congress in a constituency that is home to some of the most revered Hindu religious sites. In conversation with Kavita Bajeli-Datt, Baluni talks about the problem of large-scale migration from hills, maintaining a delicate balance between development and environment and the Uniform Civil Code. Excerpts:
What is your vision for your constituency?
Our constituency has five districts and 14 assembly segments. We want to link religious tourism with job generation. We have we have places like Badrinath, Kedarnath, Devprayag, Hemkunth Sahib, Valley of Flowers, Jim Corbett, Rajaji National Park and Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. My objective is to stop large-scale migration of people from hills. I have started an initiative called 'Apna Vote, Apna Gaon' (my vote, my village).
How is Uttarakhand aligned with 'Viksit Bharat'?
