Jammu, Feb 23: “Naya Jammu & Kashmir symbolises hope, progress and inclusivity by ensuring equal rights, opportunities and development for every citizen, irrespective of religion, region or caste in the true spirit of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas,” said senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devender Rana on Friday.
Interacting with delegations and individuals during the weekly public hearing at the BJP headquarters here along with Prof Kulbushan Mohtra, Rana said, “The new trajectory of the growth story is already in process since the abrogation of Article 370 for over four years, which got new impetus with the renewed initiatives set in motion by the Prime Minister during his visit to Jammu on Tuesday. The opening of doors for investment, infrastructure development, and job creation would uplift the lives of millions of residents, particularly the youth.”
He said the changing Jammu & Kashmir under PM Modi is being recognised across the political spectrum, which is a matter of pride for every citizen in this part of the country.
Rana dwelt in detail on the measures taken during recent years for establishing peace, resulting in humming economic activities and putting Jammu and Kashmir on the path of holistic development, saying abrogation of Article 370 has removed all the impediments in achieving this cherished objective.
Now every segment of society is deriving the dividends of all the schemes and welfare programmes, which remained out of bounds for about seven decades, he added.
The BJP leader said ‘Naya Jammu & Kashmir’ is fast pacing towards emerging as the crowning glory of the country where each individual irrespective of caste, creed, religion or ethnicity has been equitably empowered.
“The government’s focus on good governance, transparency and accountability has ensured that the fruits of development reach every corner of Naya Jammu Kashmir. The empowerment of local bodies and the participation of the youth in decision-making processes will further strengthen the democratic fabric of the region,” he added.
Rana, according to the statement, listened to the individual and collective problems during the public hearing and assured that these would be taken up at appropriate forums for earnest redressal.
