J&K is all set to be number one in peace, prosperity & development: BJP Spokesperson
Jammu/8th June 2020: Bharatiya Janata Party Spokesperson Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today
Press Conference at Jammu in connection with completion of one year of Narendra
Modi led government 2.0. Dr Darakhshan Andrabi was accompanied by BJP Jammu
District President Vinay Gupta, District General Secretaries Ankush Gupta and
Kuldeep Kandhari. BJP Spokesperson deliberated on diverse issues of national as well
as of local importance on the occasion. Terming the last six years of Modi
government in India as ‘the era of India’s re-emergence as a world leader’, Dr
Andrabi said that during this brief period India has succeeded in resolving very
significant but complicated issue within the country and also succeeded in emerging
as the key-player in international decision making having global impact. Dr Andrabi
said that India’s ideas of meeting the world’s future energy needs by harnessing the
solar power, introduction and propagation of Yoga at international level for the
physical and mental health and peace and the vision of environment-friendly
economic growth has earned global praise and acknowledgement to our country. At
global level, our diplomatic relations speak of our cultural traditions and our spirit of
friendship for all has earned us acceptance beyond the borders of regions, religions,
political lobbies & economic interests. During the present Pandemic our quick,
humane response to the request of the world to provide viral treatment medicine
has added enormously to our credibility as a responsible nation. India became 5th
largest economy in the world during this period. Moving out of Regional
Comprehensive Trade Partnership (RCEP) was a very tough decision but it was taken
by Narendra Modi government for the country’s benefit. India has been entrusted
the job of the Chair of the Executive Board of World Health Organization.
“Within the country, this period has been ‘revolutionary’ &
‘historical’. Many controversial and complicated issues were solved. These issues
were kept lingering for decades by previous governments for their political
exploitation. It needed guts to address to the issues. Modi government took
decisions for country’s good and never cared for vote-bank. These decisions have
increased the trust of the people of India in Narendra Modi’s leadership,” said Dr
Andrabi referring to GST, triple-talak, J&K Re-Organization Act, befitting surgical &
air-strikes in reply to the terror attacks, the much needed defense deals including the Rafale and Apache deals, one-rank one-pension for armed forces or the creation
of Chief of Defense Staff. “This government has not only re-devised the social
welfare system in India, but has also ensured that benefits of the Social Welfare
Schemes for the poor and the needy are guaranteed without any scope of
corruption, mismanagement and bribery,” said BJP Spokesperson. She added that in
absence of the honest and positive opposition, this government was fighting the
anti-social & anti-national forces alone. “For the first time in the history of India, we
see an opposition pleading for the ailments within the country, and opposing the
cures which this government is suggesting and presenting,” added Dr Andrabi. The
few of the revolutionary schemes of the Modi government are Pension for old
farmers, labourers, MANREGA amendment for enhancement of work-days and
wages, Ayushman Bharat, Vendor Scheme, boost for MSME, Ujjwala Yojna, Tribal
Residential Scheme and many more. The recently announced Gareeb Kalyan Yojna
by the Finance Minister Ms Nirmala Sitaraman ji has been praised across the world.
This scheme announced by the Honourable Prime Minister will uplift India out of this
Corona crisis.
“During the past seven decades, we, within J&K were fed with slogans
of exploitations only in the name of the politics of public aspirations; we were
deprived of the real development and opportunities for our economic growth and
progress. Those who raised the slogans for the special status were instrumental in
hollowing the structure. It was only a political tool for power for all of them with no
benefit to the public. We are now in the re-organized J&K and let us give this new
arrangement some time to yield results for the benefit of the welfare and
development of the people,” said Dr Andrabi. She said that the task in J&K is huge
and every flaw is being removed step-by-step. The Lieutenant Governor Shri
Murmu’s administration is addressing to each and every problem in a structured
manner. “We are hopeful that with the help of the Central government, LG
administration in J&K is changing the system of governance here and making
everybody feel that government means the welfare of the people, not the political
exploitation of them,” said BJP leader. She said that we were going fast on the track
of positive change in J&K but things cannot be changed overnight. “Substituting the
political chain of looting the public treasuries & amassing wealth while in power, we
are creating a chain of systematic fool-proof & transparent public reach-out chain
within J&K, so that the people are benefited without corruption and exploitation,”
added Andrabi. She said that the systems of administration in J&K have been hurt
badly by the three-decade era of violence and our mainstream politics has added to
the miseries of the people here. “We need to probe the inappropriate properties
and treasures amassed by politicians, bureaucrats and other influential lot during the
past many decades so that the public money is seized and appropriate action is
taken against the people involved in the loot. The process has been started and soon
the action will surface,” said Dr Darakhshan. She said that the business sector of J&K
has suffered a lot by the continuous uncertain situations in J&K. The Central
government is in the process of a one-time bail-out scheme for the Commerce,
industry, transport and tourism sectors of the UT.
BJP Spokesperson said that Government of India was committed to
usher a new era of peace, progress and development in J&K. “Modi government
established IIT & IIM in J&K in addition to two AIIMS in Kashmir and Jammu, Circular
Roads in Jammu & Kashmir, Shama Prasad Mukhrjee Tunnel, Patni Top Gondola, Atal
Setu, Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Medical Colleges at district levels
in addition to many more significant projects in J&K. Two metro-rail projects for
Srinagar & Jammu are in pipeline,” said Dr Andrabi. She said that the central
government has allocated a separate budget for the development of J&K which will
change the ground situation at the grass root level in the UT. “The government has
planned to create and fulfill without delay fifty thousand jobs for the educated
unemployed youth; a mega 706 crore tourism revival package is also being devised
in addition to 50 crores for Dal lake revival separately. To put the stimulus to the
rural development the J&K administration has earmarked 5285 crores for RD
schemes. Emphasizing on the development of the Health sector in J&K, the
government has enhanced its allocation to 1268 crores and 20 new digital
dispensaries are being established within this year only. Agriculture & Horticulture is
being revolutionized,” said Dr Andrabi.
“We are passing through a very tough time globally. But our leadership in
India under the Prime Minister has given us the hope of life by timely addressing the
problem. The lockdown, the guidelines, the timely economic and medical
intervention has not only saved us from catastrophic situations but has also given us
a vision to deal with the Pandemic. Globally also we have emerged as torch-bearers.
I also appreciate the efforts of the LG administration in dealing with the situations so
nicely and saving lives,” said Darakhshan. She appealed to the public to cooperate
with the government in dealing with this invisible threat to humanity.
