The result of that struggle was that democracy was restored in the country", stated the Chief Minister.Talking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country has proved its potential in the whole world. Today, under his able leadership, continuous work is being done to empower every Indian, be it a Dalit, a woman, a farmer, a disabled person or a youth. Every section is being empowered in the country".While wishing good health and longevity to all the democracy fighters, the Chief Minister said that being the chief servant of the state, he would always continue to work in the same way to strengthen democracy. He expressed hope that he will continue to get the guidance and blessings of the democracy fighters in the same way.Former Chief Minister Bhagat Singh Koshyari said that future generations should be aware of the efforts made by Loktantra Senani to protect democracy, for this, the efforts made by them to protect democracy should be made public. There should be programs for this at the district level as well. He expressed hope that Loktantra Senani will continue to work in the same spirit.Koshiyari added, "It is a good thing in Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami that he respects the elders and for the development of the state, the blessings of the elders of his long tenure are with him.
