Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that he is committed to creating a new and wonderful picture of Jammu and Kashmir and announced that the Union Territory will soon get the status of statehood.
He was addressing a public rally in Udhampur asking people to vote for BJP candidates Dr Jitendra Singh (Udhampur) and Jugal Kishore Sharma (Jammu) in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
PM Modi said “Modi thinks far ahead. So what has happened so far is just the trailer. I have to get busy in creating a new and wonderful picture of the new Jammu and Kashmir. The time is not far when Assembly elections will be held in Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir will get the status of statehood. You will be able to share your dreams with your MLA and your ministers…”
He said the 2024 Lok Sabha poll is the first election after a decade in which militancy, stone pelting, separatism and firing at the border are not an issue. Development has replaced militancy, he pointed out, explaining that this has increased public confidence, encouraging them to say ‘Modi government once again’.
