Dehra Dun, Feb 20 (PTI) Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank today postponed his awareness drive to highlight development works of his government ahead of the upcoming assembly election in the state.
Nishank had deferred his "Vikas Yatra" in view of the ongoing visit of BJP leader Thavar Chandra Gehlot, in-charge of party affairs in Uttarakhand, to Garhwal region, state party spokesman Satish Lakhera told PTI.
The yatra would now commence on March eight when the BJP government would complete four years in office, he said.
"Since the timing of the two leaders -- Gehlot and Nishank -- was clashing with each other, the yatra of the Chief Minister has been postponed," Lakhera said.
An official release earlier stated Nishank would embark on the "Vikas Yatra" from Champawat on February 20.
Despite postponement of the yatra, Nishank flew to Champawat and reviewed various developmental schemes and intracted with locals.
