"उत्तराखंड के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री मेजर जनरल भुवन चंद्र खण्डूडी (सेवानिवृत्त) जी के निधन से अत्यंत दुख हुआ है। सशस्त्र बलों से लेकर राजनीतिक जगत में उन्होंने बहुमूल्य योगदान दिया, जिसके लिए उन्हें सदैव याद किया जाएगा। उत्तराखंड के विकास के लिए वे हमेशा समर्पित रहे, जो मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में उनके कार्यकाल में भी साफ तौर पर दिखा। केंद्रीय मंत्री के रूप में भी उनका कार्यकाल हर किसी को प्रेरित करने वाला है। देशभर में कनेक्टिविटी की बेहतरी के लिए उन्होंने निरंतर अथक प्रयास किए। शोक की इस घड़ी में मेरी संवेदनाएं उनके परिजनों और समर्थकों के साथ हैं। ओम शांति!"
