JAMMU, SEPT 14 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched his campaign for the Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana assembly elections by addressing a rally in the Doda district, reportedly his first visit there in 42 years, of Jammu region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the rally in support of BJP candidates, Modi affirmed, “I give you the guarantee of fulfilling all rights to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was the first election rally by the prime minister ahead of the first phase of Assembly polls scheduled on September 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahead of PM Modi’s visit, five terrorists were shot dead and two soldiers killed in action in as many as three encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his address, Modi emphasized the significance of the upcoming elections and asserted that they will determine Jammu & Kashmir’s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the issue of external interference and the impact of political dynasties, Modi criticized past political parties for neglecting the youth and fostering terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He highlighted the lack of panchayat elections since 2000, accusing these parties of stifling new leadership and misleading the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Terrorism is breathing its last in Jammu and Kashmir,” he asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modi also highlighted the BJP government\u2019s commitment to enhancing educational opportunities in Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasized that the recent inauguration of new schools and colleges, including a long-demanded medical college in Doda, demonstrates the government’s dedication to improving educational infrastructure for the region\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PM Modi said, “We and you together will make Jammu and Kashmir a secure and prosperous part of the country.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After Independence, Jammu and Kashmir became the target of foreign powers and dynastic politics made this beautiful region hollow from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The political dynasties projected their children and did not let new leadership grow, the Prime Minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said his government focused on carving out a young leadership soon after we came to power at the Centre in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
