SANASAR: Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Earth Sciences, MoS PMO, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr. Jitendra Singh said here today that BJP will not allow Congress and National Conference (NC) to push back Jammu & Kashmir into the same condition from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi has so painstakingly pulled it out and put it on the path of progress, development and equal rights for every citizen. Addressing an election rally here in support of the Ramban Assembly candidate Rakesh Thakur, Dr Jitendra Singh asked the audience, would they like Congress Party to once again deprive them of their legitimate rights as was the condition before 5th of August 2019. Would our brothers and sisters like to become refugees again, he asked. Dr Jitendra Singh particularly addressed the women folk in the audience and asked “will you like your daughters to be deprived of the property rights of their parents as was the conditions before 5th August 2019”. At this, all the women folk in the audience loudly responded in one voice, “No- No”. The Union Minister went on to say, the Congress and National Conference are repeatedly claiming that they will restore Article 370 and deprive the daughters and sisters of Jammu & Kashmir of their property rights. He said, this is a mischievous design of these political parties and their leaders to retain and grab the properties of their sisters and daughters, and serve their selfish interest. He said, today’s age is of the 21st Century, when India is a part of the global world and will all this ever be allowed or digested? BJP is determined not to ever allow this to happen because Modi has liberated us from such draconian laws with tremendous courage, he added. Dr Jitendra Singh said, Ramban was the central point of National Highway from Jammu to Srinagar but each time it made news or headlines in the newspaper, it was for landslides causing road blocks for days together and the prices of essential commodities would go up multiple times causing hardship for stranded passangers. The same Ramban today, said Dr Jitendra Singh, is only two hours away from Jammu as the traffic is so smooth and, roadblocks and landslides are things of the past. He said, all this has been made possible with the patronage of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a result of which we have new bridges, road tunnels and new highways built across the Ramban region. The MLAs from Congress and NC who were part of the government in the State did not find it important to attend to this area and became insecure, he added. Appealing for a vote for BJP candidate, Dr Jitendra Singh said, it is essential that the Ramban receives a voice in the Assembly and all their problems and issues go on record which may be addressed by authorities here. The benefits of the double engine and the benefits provided by the Modi government will smoothly be translated on the ground by the BJP representative from here. Dr Jitendra Singh said, BJP isa cadre based party and all its Karyakartas believe in “Nation first” and collectively work for the victory of “Lotus”.
