PM Modi also articulated that the upcoming Lok Sabha polls will take place in Jammu and Kashmir sans the fear of terrorism, strikes, stone-pelting and cross-border firing.
He went on to further say that after decades, this election is happening.
There used to be a concern regarding the security of the Vaishno Devi and Amarnath pilgrimages, but the (security) situation has transformed altogether. Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing development and the people’s faith in the government is getting strengthened.
PM Modi even slammed the Congress and the INDIA alliance saying that they do not care over the sentiments of the majority of the people of the country and only enjoy playing with the sentiments.
PM Modi also criticized those on bail for visiting convicted criminals’ homes, cooking mutton amidst Sawan, and sharing videos, comparing their actions to Mughal aggression towards temples.
Continuing he stated that the law does not stop anyone from eating anything but the intentions of these people are something else. When the Mughals attacked here, they were not satisfied until they demolished the temples. Hence, just like Mughals, they want to tease the people of the country by showing the video amidst the Sawan month.
Denying Congress’ claims that Ram Mandir is an election issue for BJP, PM Modi said it was never an election issue. “The struggle for Ram temple was going on even before the birth of the BJP. When foreign invaders destroyed our temples, the people of India fought to save their religious places.
The Congress leaders and its allies lived in big bungalows but when it came to changing the tent of Ram Lalla, they used to turn their backs.
The five Lok Sabha seats that will go to polls in Lok Sabha elections 2024 in five phases are: Baramulla, Srinagar, Anantnag-Rajouri, Udhampur and Jammu.
Udhampur goes to polls on
April 19 and the Congress has fielded Choudhary Lal Singh and Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) has nominated G M Saroori for the seat.
