Jammu, Sep 17 : The former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta, on Monday said that the development done in Jammu and Kashmir by BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last 10 years is far more than the development done in the last 70 years.
“In the past ten years, infrastructure development has transformed the map of Jammu and Kashmir,” Kavinder said while addressing a press conference at BJP media centre, here on Monday.
BJP Spokespersons Arun Gupta (In-charge of the election media center), Rajni Sethi, GL Raina (former MLC), Dr Tahir Choudhary, and media in-charge, Dr Pardeep Mahotra were also present in the press conference.
J&K has suffered a lot for 70 years due to unrest, corruption, and dynastic politics. He stated that that BJP will form next govt in J&K and an unprecedented development will be done here.
He said that after Narendra Modi became PM in 2014, the BJP moved forward with its agenda, and after abrogation of Article 370, massive infrastructure development has taken place in J&K.
He emphasised that peace is essential for construction, development, and prosperity of any region, and to achieve this, the Modi government took bold steps to free J&K from the clutches of terrorism, corruption, and dynastic rule, setting it on the path of development.
He said the central government initiated massive development works in J&K focusing on roads, bridges, tunnels, railway bridges, ring roads, express highways, smart cities, the Jammu Tawi River Front, and services like the Vande Bharat train.
He stated that it is only due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong will that development in all regions of J&K took place.
Kavinder said that the previous governments had crossed all limits of discrimination, causing the people of Jammu and Kashmir to suffer.
Kavinder Gupta said, “Today, things have changed and everything is different, and Jammu is moving ahead on the path of development.”
He added that now the travel time from Jammu to Udhampur is one hour and to Srinagar is five hours, something that wasn’t possible before, and this is all due to the focus on infrastructure development. — (ANI)
