Jammu, Nov 30: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana on Thursday said that during the past four years, Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed huge and remarkable transformation and turnaround in the overall situation, infrastructural development and implementation of the various welfare schemes.
“In the wake of unwavering dedication and strategic initiatives, the Union Territory has ushered in an era of stability, development, and unity,” Rana said while addressing the district office bearers DDCs and BDCs during Booth Jan Samvad Maha Abhiyan review meeting of Jammu border District of the party.
He said the BJP’s commitment to inclusive governance as per Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’ has fostered a sense of belonging with a renewed spirit of confidence among people. “In the last 9 years of the Modi Government, many challenges have been overcome, paving the way for holistic development, economic growth and social harmony and treading the path of making the nation a Vishavguru,” he said.
The BJP leader urged the party functionaries of the Jammu border district to reach out to each booth and engage in Samvad in each booth and explain to the people the schemes and historic initiatives taken by PM Modi-led BJP Government in the last nine years to benefit and uplift the poor and downtrodden in the society by empowering them and equitably developing them.
He also made a mention of “path-breaking” initiatives taken across Jammu and Kashmir with an avowed objective of ensuring development, creating infrastructural facilities, strengthening utility services and giving fillip to growth as a result of massive investments.
“The investments will manifest in industrialization on a mega scale thus opening vistas of opportunities for economic empowerment and generation of jobs for professionals, technocrats, educated unemployed besides skilled and unskilled workforce,” Rana said, adding that J&K is at the threshold of a new era of peace and progress as per Naya J&K vision of the Prime Minister.
Devender Rana said the Prime Minister’s mission of Naya Jammu and Kashmir is to be carried forward by consolidating the gains of peace to bring about economic emancipation to the people. “The influx of over 1.8 crore pilgrims, nature and adventure tourists last year, which is likely to hugely surpass this year, has brought cheer in the lives of lakhs of stakeholders engaged in the tourism trade,” he said, adding, “Tourism being the major mainstay of Jammu and Kashmir is hugely dependent on peace and this realisation among the people has made all the difference.”
