Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the Congress party kept the Shahpurkandi Dam stalled for decades. He said that the country’s fields were dry and the villages were in darkness, but the water of the Ravi river was going to Pakistan.
He further said that Jammu and Kashmir is “breathing freely after the abrogation of Article 370”. Addressing a poll rally in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur as a star campaigner for Union Minister Jitendra Singh, Modi said this election is not just to elect MPs but an election to form a “strong government in the country”.
“When the govt is strong, it completes the work by challenging the challenges,” the PM said.
Launching a scathing attack on Congress, Prime Minister said, the “weak governments” of the grand old party kept the Shahpurkandi Dam stalled for decades. “The fields of the farmers of Jammu were dry and the villages were in darkness, but our water of Ravi was going to Pakistan. Modi had given a guarantee to the farmers and has fulfilled it also,” he said.
