Inspired by how Vajpayee sat on floor, travelled third class: Uttarakhand's future CM Tirath Singh Rawat

Uttarakhand's next chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat says that he is inspired by former Prime Minister Atal Bihar Vajpayee-- how he sat on the floor to eat and travelled third class in trains.

Uttarakhand's new chief minister-elect, Tirath Singh Rawat, says that promoting tourism and agriculture in the state is on his priority list. He also said that as the new CM, he will carry forward the work of the Char Dham Road Project and Rishikesh Rail Project initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking exclusively to India Today TV, Tirath Rawat said, "I will carry forward all the projects and work done by former CM Trivendra Singh Rawat in the state. I will also ensure completion of the Char Dham Road Project and Rishikesh Rail Project initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We will all work in unison". He added, "My priority for the state is to promote agriculture and tourism here".
