New Delhi, May 12: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Friday said a delegation of DDC chairpersons from Jammu called on him here, stating that the Modi government has ushered in a new era of development in J&K which has given a new vision to the Union Territory.
They said the Modi government has initiated several development projects which will benefit the people of Jammu & Kashmir for the decades to come, Chugh said in a statement.
Chugh said the people of Jammu & Kashmir have high hopes in the leadership of PM Modi. He said that there has been a positive change in Jammu & Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370.
“Today, there is mutual development of both peace and prosperity in Jammu & Kashmir. The proof of peace is that DDC and BCC elections were successfully held there for the very first time and 280 representatives were elected. With these measures, local people got faith in democracy, that’s why today the development plans are reaching the ground,” he said.
The BJP national general secretary also listened carefully to various development issues raised by the public representatives from Jammu & Kashmir and said that he would be more than happy to pursue these plans for the betterment of the people of the UT.
On this occasion, he said there was a good discussion in the meeting on the Panchayat level, the lowest unit in democracy and the DDC representative group. These are the same representatives who work to make the country’s plans accessible to the common people on the ground, he said.
The delegation comprised many representatives including Bharat Bhushan, Dhanantar Singh Kotwal, Colonel Maan Singh, Keshu Dutt, Raghunandan Singh and Sandeep Singh Manhas, the statement said.
