Srinagar, Sept 19: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Congress, National Conference, and Peoples Democratic Party for promoting dynastic politics.
While addressing an election rally in Srinagar, PM Modi said that three influential families, never allowed new political leadership to emerge in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Three families have undermined 'Jamhooriyat' and 'Kashmiriyat' in Kashmir's politics. They treated politics here as their personal 'Jagir', preventing new leaders from emerging”, the Prime Minister said while addressing an election in Srinagar in support of party candidates.
“These families feared that local body elections would empower new faces, challenging their dynastic rule”, he said, adding, “Today, I stand before you, proud of the resilience and determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. For decades, your state was held hostage by three influential families who undermined the very fabric of 'Jamhooriyat' and 'Kashmiriyat'”.
The Prime Minister said that the consequences were devastating as youth lost faith in democracy due to the misdeeds of these families and Jammu and Kashmir suffered.
“We, the BJP, refuse to accept this status quo. We believe in empowering the people, not just a select few. Under our government, Jammu and Kashmir's youth, once struggling, are now thriving”, he said, adding, “Our initiatives for skill development and employment generation are transforming lives. We've invested in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, ensuring a brighter future for all”. |
