The Congress party has accused the Uttarakhand government led by Pushkar Singh Dhami of transferring prime land, including the historic George Everest Estate, to private entities.
The Congress party has launched a sharp attack on the ruling government in Uttarakhand, alleging that the administration of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has handed over significant state assets to private parties. The opposition specifically highlighted the transfer of the George Everest Estate, a piece of prime land in the state, claiming it was given away without proper public interest justification.
In a statement, Congress leaders described the move as a betrayal of the public trust and a misuse of state resources. They argued that such historic and valuable properties should remain under government control for public use or be developed through transparent, competitive processes that benefit the local population.
The Dhami government has not yet issued a detailed official response to these specific allegations regarding the George Everest Estate. However, the opposition has demanded an immediate inquiry into the land transfer records to ensure accountability and transparency in the management of state assets.
This political controversy is expected to intensify in the state assembly, where opposition members are likely to raise questions about the legal and administrative procedures followed during the disposal of this particular estate.
