I wish Baba gives us enough strength to achieve the target of Viksit Bharat and Viksit Delhi. I hope Baba Kedar gives me the strength to work for the development of Delhi,' the Delhi Chief Minister said after taking darshan at Kedarnath Dham.

Today, after taking the blessings of Gurujan, I am feeling more powerful within myself. I have a sense of responsibility.

I ask for the strength that whatever the aspirations of the people are, I am able to fulfil them.'
