Srinagar, Sep 02(KNS): Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Dr. Jitendra Singh, highlighted the significant strides Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has made under the BJP's governance.
According to KNS correspondent, Singh attributed this progress to the abrogation of Article 370 and credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for fostering grassroots democracy in the region.
Dr. Singh underscored that the historic transformation of J&K following the removal of Article 370 has been pivotal in introducing local self-government, which had been previously inaccessible despite the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments applied elsewhere in India. "True local self-government always eluded J&K due to the special status granted by Article 370 and 35A," Dr. Singh noted.
He praised the development model introduced by Prime Minister Modi, emphasizing that in the past five years, the people of J&K have benefited from evidence-based governance and strong leadership.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel"They have witnessed the positive impacts of PM Modi's development model and are eager to continue reaping these benefits," Dr. Singh stated.
