Hon’ble National President of Bharatiya Janata Party, Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda addressed a public meeting in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir on Friday. During his address, Shri Nadda highlighted that under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the BJP government abrogated Article 370 and set Jammu and Kashmir on the path of development, integrating it with the mainstream. Shri Nadda criticized the NC, Congress, and PDP for fostering terror, corruption, and hindering the development of Jammu and Kashmir. During the event, Kathua candidate Shri Satish Sharma, DDC Chairman Colonel Mohan Singh,  BJP District President Shri Omi Kumar Khajuria among other leaders were present.

 

Shri Nadda stated that the people must ensure that they spread the Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s message that Kashmir has now progressed on the path of the mainstream, and it is essential to take Kashmir forward. Jammu & Kashmir shares a bond with the BJP and Bharatiya Jan Sangh, it is an emotional relationship. The National Conference and Congress have always betrayed, cheated, and misled the land of Jammu. It was only the BJP and Bharatiya Jan Sangh that stood with Jammu. Sher-e-Duggar Shri Prem Nath Dogra was the third National President of Bharatiya Jan Sangh in 1955. He fought for integration against Sheikh Abdullah and raised the voice of Jammu and Kashmir. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, the first President of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, challenged the wrong intentions of Jawaharlal Nehru and Sheikh Abdullah. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee emphasized the injustices of Article 370 concerning Jammu and Kashmir, highlighting that there cannot be 'Do Nishan, Do Vidhan, Do Pradhan' in one country. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee entered Lakhanpur without a permit to make his stance clear. He was arrested and ultimately sacrificed his life in a jail in Srinagar. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee's fight was carried forward by the BJP, and with the willpower of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and the strategy of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, Article 370 was abolished in Parliament on August 5, 2019. This established 'Ek Desh, Ek Nishan, Ek Vidhan, Ek Pradhan' in the country.

 

BJP National President Shri Nadda remarked that this election is truly unique, as for the first time, Srinagar's valley witnessed a 60% voter turnout, a significant increase from the previous 8-10%. There is no atmosphere of fear or terror—no firing, terrorist attacks, or booth capturing. People are voting fearlessly, and in the first two phases, the recorded turnout was 58-60%. Those who once held guns in their hands are now using ballots to express themselves, this is a victory for Indian democracy. Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji has emphasized peace, stability, and development in Jammu and Kashmir.

 

Shri Nadda highlighted that when Article 370 was in effect in Jammu and Kashmir, Manmohan Singh, who came from West Pakistan, became the Prime Minister, but a refugee who came from West Pakistan in Jammu was deprived of the right to vote and participate in elections. However, the abrogation of Article 370 has proven to be a blessing for Jammu and Kashmir, as now refugees from West Pakistan will also be able to participate in elections and exercise their right to vote. In Jammu and Kashmir, the Valmiki community was previously limited to becoming sanitation workers. The Valmiki community was unable to pursue education or secure any government jobs, but today, due to the abrogation of Article 370, they have been granted equal rights to education. After the abrogation of Article 370, the BJP government has granted Gujars, Bakarwals, Padris, and Paharis the right to vote and stand in elections, while also ensuring reservations for them.

 

BJP National President Shri Nadda pointed out that the Congress, National Conference, and PDP all have only one goal - 'protect the family and promote the family.' However, Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji's goal is to uplift the people of Jammu and Kashmir and send these family-driven parties to his/her home. The NC and Congress alliance is merely a deal between two political families, they have nothing to do with the people of Jammu and Kashmir and have always prioritized their own families and corruption. The National Conference was involved in the Roshni scam, the J&K Bank scam, the J&K land purchase scam, and the scam in the cricket association.

 

Shri Nadda stated that following the victory of BJP candidate Shri Satish Sharma and the party winning all six seats, legal action will be taken against those responsible for injustices in Jammu and Kashmir, specifically the Congress, PDP and NC. Individuals aged 20 to 25 have been denied education and instead given weapons and stones, transforming them into stone-pelters. Previously, around 300 to 400 terrorists emerged in Jammu, but this number has now fallen to just four identified terrorists in the last nine months.

 

BJP National President Shri Nadda expressed concern that the National Conference is not backing down. They want to revert to the situation of the 1990s. The NC's manifesto states they will release terrorists from jail. To prevent this, it is essential to ensure the BJP wins all seats in Kathua and Jammu and Kashmir by making the ‘Lotus’ bloom. Everyone knows what used to happen at the LOC: goods were sent from there, while counterfeit notes came back, and weapons were returned in exchange. The National Conference's ally, Congress, has also expressed their intention to resume LOC trade. The NC clearly supports talks with Pakistan. However Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji has stated that there will be no dialogue until terrorism is eliminated and the BJP will respond firmly to terrorism.

 

Shri Nadda stated that significant changes have taken place in Jammu in terms of development and beyond. A G20 meeting was held in Srinagar, a car race took place, and the Khelo India event was organized. Over 2 crore tourists visited Jammu and Kashmir within a year, establishing peace and harmony in the region. Whether it's about reservations or development, the Bharatiya Janata Party under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji has actively worked to advance every issue. Before the abrogation of Article 370, corruption was rampant in the state. Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji eliminated corruption and focused on development.

 

BJP National President Shri Nadda remarked that while economies in the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan, and China are facing challenges, India's economy is seen as a ‘Bright Spot’ under Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership. India has climbed from the 11th to the 5th position in the global economy, surpassing Britain. Following the win in Jammu and Kashmir, India is on track to become the third-largest economy during the third term of Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji.

 

Shri Nadda highlighted that remarkable development has occurred in Jammu over the past five years, with roads extending to every village and numerous projects for national highways, elevated roads, and flyovers underway. In the Jammu region, 1,800 kilometers of national and state highways have been built, including key projects like the Delhi-Katra Expressway, Jammu-Poonch Highway, Chenani-Nashri Tunnel, Banihal Qazigund Tunnel, and Zojila Tunnel. Furthermore, 19,000 kilometers of all-weather roads have been constructed, connecting 2,300 villages. The Border Roads Organization has completed 443 kilometers in the Jammu and Srinagar areas. The railway line from Udhampur to Baramulla is nearing completion, enabling train travel from Baramulla to Kanyakumari, truly uniting India. Vande Bharat trains are now operating between Katra and Delhi. The Chenab Bridge, originally sanctioned by Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee but delayed for ten years under the UPA government, has been completed under Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji's leadership and now stands as Asia's tallest bridge, symbolizing pride for Jammu and Kashmir.

 

BJP National President Shri Nadda highlighted that nearly 38,000 government jobs have been created. The establishment of a premier AIIMS in Jammu will ensure quality healthcare in the region. IIT, IIM, and the Indian Institute of Mass Communication have been set up, making Jammu an educational hub. Jammu now offers a range of facilities similar to those found in metropolitan cities. The Shahpur Kandi project had been delayed for years due to concerns about Pakistan, leaving the Kandi area dry and without a proper water supply. The UPA government took no action for a decade, but now under Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji's leadership, the project is underway and initiatives are being launched to supply water to farmers in remote Jammu areas. Furthermore, 8 new medical colleges have been established in Jammu and Kashmir, and the BJP government has approved multiple hydro projects, ensuring that the region will have adequate water resources.

 

Shri Nadda remarked that during the tenure of the National Conference and Congress, there were instances of gunfire during DDC and panchayat elections. The BJP government has successfully conducted local elections and offered opportunities for youth representation. Under the Modi government, Jammu and Kashmir will not fall behind in any sector. Although the BJP government can introduce development and benefit schemes from Delhi, these initiatives cannot be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir without a BJP-led government in the state. To speed up development in the region, a double-engine government is essential. Under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, only the BJP can drive the narrative of development. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the ‘Lotus’ blooms in every seat in Jammu and Kashmir. The people must elect a BJP government, after which the party will complete all the pending initiatives in the region.

 

BJP National President Shri Nadda highlighted that the Modi government will construct 3 crore new homes under the PM Awas Yojana, guaranteeing that no one will be without shelter. The government has also introduced a health cover of ₹5 lakh for 6 crore citizens aged over 70. Furthermore, the health cover under Ayushman Bharat has been raised to ₹7 lakh. To facilitate the effective implementation of these beneficial initiatives, a robust BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir is crucial. BJP National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda appealed to the voters to support BJP candidates with a substantial majority across all seats in the region.
