KATHUA, Feb 6: Senior BJP leader and Member Parliament (Rajya Sabha), Ghulam Ali Khatana has said that the country is moving on the path of progress and prosperity under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
Addressing a joining function at BJP office here, Khatana said that only PM Modi can make the country ‘Vishav Guru’ and elevate our economy to make India as the third top economy of the world.
He further said that in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections BJP will emerge as a winner with historic number of seats and in J&K it will win all the five seats along with the one seat from the Union Territory of Ladakh.
“After the abrogation of Article 370 and 35-A from J&K on August 5, 2019 both the J&K and Ladakh Union Territories are witnessing remarkable changes in developmental works and public welfare measures,” the MP maintained adding: “Incidents of terrorism and cross border infiltration have been drastically reduced now while the stone pelting in Kashmir has been finished post-abrogation of Article 370 and 35-A.”
On this occasion, prominent Gujjar leaders Sultan Ali, Mohd. Latief and Shorat Ali joined BJP along with their supporters and they were welcomed into the party by MP Khatana.
The new entrants said that they joined the BJP to strengthen the public-centric leadership in J&K.
The MP said that BJP in J&K has done historic developments for the upliftment of tribal communities like Gujjars, Bakerwals, Gaddis, Sippis and others.
“The earlier political parties like NC, PDP and Congress that remained in power for about seven decades have befooled the Tribal community members and used them only as vote bank,” he further said adding: “Now under the leadership of PM Modi the country is moving ahead and we have even landed on the moon,” Khatana said.
