A SELF MADE POLITICIAN AND A CABINET MINISTER IN UTTARAKHAND, SUBODH UNIYAL

SUNIL NEGI

Subodh Uniyal a minister in Uttarakhand is today an extremely popular name being a young and youthful minister who reached  the top by the dint of his hard work, perseverance, commitment and service to the people. I fondly remember how Subodh on the advice of the one time political stalwart, former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, four time Union Minister Late Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna sincerely and in a single go accepted his proposal and came to Narendra Nagar forever to finally become an MLA, then  Industrial Adviser to the then Uttarakhand Chief minister Vijay Bahuguna and finally a full  Minister of agriculture and several other pivotal  departments under Trivendra Singh Rawat’s stewardship. Subodh Uniyal carries behind him a vast experience as a dynamic student leader and a relentless fighter for peoples’ cause in Uttarakhand while being an activist and an MLA several times. He proved himself to be the leader of the masses by involving himself with every grass root problem of the local populace of his legislative constituency. He fought for the peoples’ right and ensured that majority of their problems’ are resolved and he did proved successful by way of becoming MLA several times and finally taking charge as a minister in Uttarakhand cabinet. Subodh Uniyal is a highly qualified minister with outstanding qualities to mix with poor and the rich and resolving problems of one and all. He is such a minister who carries no ego and and futile prejudices. He is more comfortable among st the poor, down trodden and the have nots than in the affluent sections of the society. Subodh had been the ardent supporter of Late political stalwart HN Bahuguna’s family and had always stood with his jurist and the then UK chief minister  son Vijay Bahuguna and had been immensely instrumental in the latter’s victory as the member of parliament twice from the Tehri Garhwal parliamentary constituency which once used to be the stronghold of the then Tehri king  Maharaja Manvendra Shah. Subodh Uniyal today is a force to reckon with in Tehri Garhwal parliamentary constituency carrying behind him a tremendous mass force. Being a secular politician even in BJP today Subodh Uniyal maintains his complete secular credentials. A politician with guts and perseverance Agriculture minister of Uttarakhand Subodh Uniyal is the greatest proponent of CHAKBANDI and feels that it is only through this alternative of thought that Uttarakhand can make reverse migration possible. A friend of friends and trouble shooter of the people in problems of Uttarakhand  Subodh is a great asset for the Himalayan state of four historic Char Dhams. Wishing him all the very best? What do you say friends?
