Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday said that Congress has no support left in its once-considered bastions. Attacking Rahul Gandhi for not contesting from the Amethi Lok Sabha seat this time, Dhami said, ''No ground has left for Congress anywhere in the country on seats once considered their traditional seats.'' On Fire incidents in Uttarakhand, Dhami, who was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a rally here, said the authorities have filed more than 350 FIRs in this connection.

''We conducted a review meeting on Saturday and responsibilities have been given to officers. We are also working on the Char Dham Yatra, which is about to start,'' he said.

Asked about giving a ticket to Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's son from the Kaiserganj seat, he said the Samajwadi Party is a dynastic party and not the BJP.
