JAMMU: Union minister and J&K election in-charge, G. Kishan Reddy on Sunday said that this is the historic time when Jammu will take lead and decide next government in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that for the first time, the BJP is poised to form a government on its own in Jammu and Kashmir, and the people of Jammu now have the power to decide their own destiny.
Addressing a press conference at BJP media center, Reddy said that due to the Modi government’s “zero tolerance” policy, terror incidents have decreased by 98 percent, and now Jammu and Kashmir is on the path of development and prosperity. BJP’s working president Sat Sharma, national spokesperson R.P. Singh, spokesperson and media center in-charge Arun Gupta, spokesperson Girdhari Lal Raina, and media head Dr. Pradeep Mahotra were also present in the press conference.
Reddy said that Congress, National Conference, and PDP are fooling the people. “These parties are responsible for terrorism and bloodshed in J&K,” he said, adding, “Terrorism was the biggest speed breaker in way of development”.
He described the abrogation of Article 370 as the foundation for Jammu and Kashmir’s development and said that prosperity reigns in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s new Jammu and Kashmir.
Reddy appealed to the people of Jammu to vote for the BJP’s symbol, the “Lotus,” in the upcoming elections so that a majority BJP government can be formed to make Jammu and Kashmir a developed and self-reliant state.
G. Kishan Reddy said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an atmosphere of security and peace has been established in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that to eliminate terrorism, stone-pelting, and separatist politics, the Modi government has taken strict measures, leading to a wave of development in Jammu and Kashmir today.
He emphasized that the instability in Jammu and Kashmir so far has been caused by parties like the Congress, National Conference, and PDP, which have betrayed the people for their own familial interests.
He noted that there is now an environment in Jammu and Kashmir where the youth are excited about their future.
“Instead of picking up stones, children are now picking up laptops and books”, he said, adding that Jammu and Kashmir is being developed as an economic power to compete with the Middle East and other states.
