Jammu, Dec 30: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Saturday said the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra would usher in a new era of welfare schemes for J&K.
Addressing a meeting of party office bearers here, Chugh said, “While cards for Rs 5 lakh insurance of every citizen would be distributed during the yatra in J&K, at the same time new forms would be circulated among new beneficiaries of various schemes launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
He said the yatra would touch J&K close to Republic Day and would reach every village.
The BJP leader said a fresh wind of change has started in J&K where a common man’s interests and needs are being taken care of. “In the past, Abdullahs, Muftis and Congress never cared for the common man and never thought of any development or progress of the region. They played divisive politics to generate anti-national sentiments for their cheap politics,” he said.
“Now the youth talks about computers and tourism, not of stones and terrorism,” Chugh added.
While strongly condemning recent incidents of terrorist violence in Kashmir Chugh said terrorism has always been a cross border sponsored exercise. But the security forces in J&K would always defeat their nefarious designs.
Chugh warned Abdullahs and Muftis against propagating anti-national sentiments by giving tacit support to the Pakistan sponsored subversive elements.
The prime minister has charted a new course of progress and development for the J&K people and a new sun has risen here, Chugh added.
