Welcoming the new entrants, BJP Pradesh President Ravinder Raina and senior leaders Devender Singh Rana, Sham Lal Sharma, Surinder Choudhry and Balwant Mankotia described their joining as a step in right direction in the larger interest of peace and progress of Jammu and Kashmir that has undergone most turbulent times post 1990. “Successive BJP governments at the Centre in the intervening times during the past over three decades brought about a discernible change in the security scenario notwithstanding the heavy dent caused by the Congress during intervals but the NDA government led by visionary Prime Minister Modi took terror head on and succeeded in breaking the vicious ecosystem comprising secessionists and their sympathizers with determination and precision”, Raina said. Referring to the strides taken by India during the past eight years, domestically as well as globally, Raina said the strong and decisive leadership of the Prime Minister is fast steering the country as Vishwa Guru and the people across the world are looking towards this great nation with hope and promise.
Raina said India’s growth story owes its genesis to the visionary mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Prayas.
Devender Rana exuded the confidence that under the bold leadership of the Prime Minister, all the regions and sub regions of Jammu and Kashmir will grow as vibrant units with opportunities of progress to all, without any discrimination or any favour of appeasement.
Rana said the Jammu region too is now at the centre stage of political and socio-economic empowerment, with the voice of the people being heard and wrongs and discrimination becoming a nightmare of the past. Sham Lal Sharma said that Jammu and Kashmir is poised to a new era of peace, progress and development, as the Centre is committed to see the Union Territory through from the difficult phase it has undergone, especially during the past over three decades
Sharma said the BJP as a force to reckon with, adding that the past eight years in particular have shown how a new dimension could be given to nation building with visionary policies and a sense of devotion and dedication. India’s image has enhanced manifold across the globe under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he added.
