Highlighting the achievement of the BJP-led government, he said, “The people of Jammu and Kashmir have 100 percent medical insurance. Every village is connected through roads, two AIIMS have been set up in Kashmir and Jammu regions. People had not thought of railway connectivity and highways. Now there is development all around.”
