KATHUA, Mar 27: Former Cabinet Minister and BJP J&K spokesperson, Rajiv Jasrotia today said that BJP and Central Government headed by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi stand fully committed for the development of Jammu and Kashmir.

This was stated by former Minister while addressing mammoth public rally here for expressing his gratitude of people of Kathua constituency by standing with him through thick and thin. On this occasion large number of Sarpanchs and Panchs were present.
Speaking on the occasion, Jasrotia said that it is the performance of his party and its Government on ground especially in terms of development that speaks for itself. He said that earlier there was only family politics but now the BJP Government has reached to the common people and have been functioning actively for the welfare of people.”The future of J&K has gone through dark period since independence but now the BJP Government is all set to change the future of the region,” he added. Jasrotia also said that other politicians come forward to people only at the time of elections, but the BJP has always been committed and “We have reached the common masses and have resolved the issues of the local population of J&K.”
He said that the Central Government has been taking the tip offs from the civil society of the J&K for the development works.”I feel that this is the exact way which would open the doors of development and peace for the people of J&K. The mission of the Government of Narendra Modi is to make the people of J&K prosper in their lives,” he said.
Condemning the recent killings, Jasrotia said that it is very unfortunate that the civilian population is being targeted, while the people of J&K want development, not terrorism.”The people involved in such incidents are creating a major speed breaker in the development process of J&K. They will not ever succeed. The lives of minorities will be protected and it is our national duty to safeguard the lives of minorities of J&K. The culprits will pay for these inhumane acts,” Jasrotia said.
He said that the opposition has no commitment for the development of Jammu and Kashmir and their “discrimination” against the Union Territory continues as before. The Congress and its allies have been discriminating against Jammu and Kashmir for years and they are doing the same even now.
