Shah warned that Congress’s inability to answer these critical questions could allow parties with dangerous policies to take J&K backward.
In closing, Shah urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to support the BJP in continuing the region’s path toward peace and development, asserting that only Prime Minister Modi could deliver a terrorism-free and prosperous J&K.
