Terrorism breathes its last in J&K: PM Modi – News Today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday addressed a large rally in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district.

The Prime Minister was delivering the speech to drum up support for the Bharatiya Janata Party faction for the upcoming state Assembly elections.

Addressing the crowd at the rally, the Prime Minister said: “I will repay this love and blessings from you by working two or three times as hard for you and the country.”

Modi targeted the Congress party, NC and PDP and said, “You have fooled three families… these families supported corruption and land mafia… only those close to the three families got government jobs.”

In a sharp attack on political rivals ahead of the Jammu and Kashmir elections, Prime Minister Modi claimed that the upcoming elections will decide the “fate” of the region. He alleged that foreign powers have had their eye on J&K for long and that after Independence, the rise of “pariwarwad” (dynastic politics) had begun to undermine the integrity of the state.

“The political parties you trusted did not care about your children,” Modi said, accusing them of supporting only their own family members and ignoring the needs of the youth, who are struggling with terrorism.

He added that these parties have deliberately prevented a new leader from coming to power in the region. He also pointed out that no panchayat elections have been held after 2000, leaving the local people without democratic representation.
