Linking the election results to the festival of Vijayadashmi, he called it an auspicious time for change, urging voters not to miss this opportunity.
He said during the past few weeks, he travelled to different parts of the J&K to address the election rallies. “Wherever, I went, I saw great enthusiasm among people towards the BJP. J&K people are tired of Congress, PDP and NC,” the Prime Minister said.
While mentioning about September 28, 2016 across the Line of Control (LoC), Modi said, “It left the enemies of India shaken and no one would dare to hatch conspiracies against the country now as the mentors of terrorism know Modi will trace them wherever they would hide.”
“It was on this day, we hit the enemy right in their homes and showed the world that it was the new India that no more can be taken for granted,” he said.
Criticising Congress, Modi highlighted their demand for proof of surgical strikes, questioning their worthiness for votes. He lamented the past violence in the region, saying, “Jammu's challenges stemmed from Congress's mistakes.” He assured the audience that the people now seek peace and a prosperous future under BJP governance.
Furthermore, Modi took aim at Congress for allegedly disrespecting fallen soldiers and failing to implement crucial benefits like one rank, one pension, which he introduced upon taking office. He noted recent enhancements to this scheme, emphasizing his commitment to the welfare of soldiers and their families.
The Prime Minister said that now people of J&K want peace. “They want a better future through the governance of BJP,” he said. In the last two phases, people’s mood suggests that they have voted in favour of BJP.”
