JAMMU, June 18: Former Minister, Choudhary Sukhnandan Kumar said that the development of rural J&K began when Prime Minister Modi came to power in the Centre in 2014.
It was stated by him while starting the flushing work of the defunct Tubewell at Kangar Panchayat Upper Bhalwal in Nagrota Constituency, here today.
Quoting Mahatma Gandhi quote over rural India, the former Minister and senior BJP leader said that Bapu ji had said the country’s soul resides in villages. Thus, if you’ve to make this country complete and independent, you’ll have to do it for the villages.
Sukhnandan said that in Jaswan Panchayat in Marh Constituency works of Rs 20 crores under CRF Road Scheme were also resumed which were closed due to Corona epidemic. Rural development is essential for making the country independent in real sense and our soul resides in villages, he said while highlighting PM Modi-led BJP Government’s work towards rural development, adding that the aspect of rural development is to make villages convenient. For this, remote connectivity of villages is necessary.
In an attack on Congress, Sukhnandan asked Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi “What did you do for the poor for the last 58 years.” “Rahul baba is always criticising Narendra Modi. My question to him is, ‘Your four generations ruled, you ruled for 58 years. What did you do for the poor?”
The Modi Government gave houses to the needy and provided toilets and electricity. Congress worked to eradicate the poor in the name of poverty alleviation,” former Minister alleged.
