KISHTWAR, Nov 17: As a part of hectic election campaign, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh today held a series of public meetings in far-flung and poorly accessible areas of Marwah, Warwan, Nagsani and Duchhan in the Kishtwar Assembly Constituency.
Referring to Kishtwar’s traditional composite culture, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the only political party which is committed to protect Kishtwar’s communal harmony and at the same time, ensure “development without discrimination”. People of Kishtwar have now realized that while other political parties thrive by creating communal tension, this is not the case with BJP, he added.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that in the brief tenure of six months as Member of Parliament, he has succeeded in initiating a number of long pending projects in this region for improving the road connectivity and ensuring better electricity and water facility. The positive results will become visible in the next few months, he added. Measures to improve the employment avenues for youth and ensure jobs for local youth in the local projects are already being taken care of, he further said.
With the taking over of Narendra Modi as Prime Minister, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, a golden era of development has begun and the most fortunate beneficiary of this is the remote area of Kishtwar, because the Prime Minister has a special concern for such backward areas which have been victims of the past 60 years of neglect. The best evidence of this, he added, is available from the fact that it is specially Kishtwar that the Prime Minister has decided to choose as his venue for election rally on November 22. He appealed to people from entire region to come together to the Kishtwar main ground for “Margdarshan” from Narendra Modi, who is being world-wide acknowledged today as the tallest leader of contemporary India.
It was the mandate from Kishtwar, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, which enabled him to reach the Lok Sabha and then he was conferred with his present status. In the same vein, he said it will be the mandate from Kishtwar which will enable its popular local activist, Sunil Sharma, to reach Jammu & Kashmir State Assembly and achieve the status which has never before been achieved by any son of the soil from here.
