Jammu May 12: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana on Friday said that Jammu & Kashmir under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised for a huge transformation with equitable political, economic and social empowerment of all regions, sub-regions and appeasement to none.
Rana in a statement said that Jammu is destined to play an equal role in the political discourse of the Union Territory. “Political role of Jammu cannot be downplayed or put under the carpet anymore because of the self-centric politics of chosen and privileged few,” he said.
He exuded confidence that the J&K people will now become part of the country’s growth story by extending their support to the “landmark initiatives being taken by the government for heralding a new era of development wherein all regions, sub-regions of J&K will be equitably politically, economically and socially empowered”.
The BJP leader said Jammu & Kashmir is witnessing “a new era of hope and promise” and “the era of despondency (is) becoming a nightmare of the past”.
Rana asserted that the BJP believes in inclusive Jammu & Kashmir, with every segment of society, irrespective of region, religion, race or caste having equal opportunities to prosper and progress and equal rights in the governance.
“The party does not believe in the political hegemony of any region or a particular section of elites. The people’s power will triumph under the cherished agenda of Modi’s Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas,” he said, adding, “The Prime Minister’s vision of Atma Nirbhar (self-reliant) Bharat is Sashaktikaran (empowerment) of all, irrespective of religion, region or caste. It is with this mantra that every BJP Karyakarta is reaching out to the people, making them aware of the schemes tailored by the government for their welfare, listening to their problems and making every effort in getting these resolved by taking up the grievances or issues with appropriate forums in the administration.”
