to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to help him with land acquisition in the state.

'Not A Gift': Rishab Pant Makes His Intentions Clear
Pant also clarified that he was not seeking the land as a gift from the authorities, but was instead looking to purchase it directly from the government.
A gift would be lovely for representation out states at the highest level internationally stages but if you allow me, I wanna buy it from the government and at their rates; at least I can have my first house built in my own state and our state. Please be helpful. Seriously didn't know how to do it
What Did The Government Say?
Responding to the post of Rishabh Pant, Uttarakhand CM said that relevant measures have been taken and authorities will get in touch soon.
Here's what the CM wrote:
