Narendra Modi and his government are working hard on a vision to ensure that J&K plays �an important and decisive role� in the fast-developing new India and for that the BJP is working hard to �form its government� here.
We are working on mission mode to form BJP government here in J&K, Dr Jitendra Singh said.

He said that India would soon India would be 3rd largest economy of the world and �J&K will play an important role in this�.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that Assembly elections are being held in J&K after a gap of 10 years. �After abrogation of Article 370, this would be the first election after which the term of Assembly in J&K would be for 5 years�.
This, he said, has become possible due to abrogation of Article 370. Dr Jitendra Singh also accused the Congress and the National Conference (NC) of using Article 370 for their own political benefits.
�After revocation of Article 370, 2.5 crore tourists visited J&K,� Dr Jitendra Singh said, while adding, �The politicians who are now demanding its restoration could not come out of their homes earlier but now they enjoy ice-cream at Lal Chowk�.
BJP Government abrogated Article 370 and brought peace and development, Dr Jitendra Singh said and added, �The youth of the Kashmir Valley now wants to be part of the development journey started by PM Modi�.
�Congress brought 73rd and 74th Amendments which were implemented everywhere in the country but not in J&K,� the Union Minister said, while adding, �After revocation of Article 370 by Modi Government, these amendments are now implemented in J&K�.
Now, funds for various development works are transferred directed to the local bodies and panchayats, he said and added, �Many revolutionary steps have been and are being taken to take J&K forward�.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that BJP�s vision for J&K is transparent governance, development, strengthening democracy and optimum use of natural resources.
This vision, he said, �is based on three points i.e democratization of democratic processes, development by exploring undeveloped sectors and governance through self governance�.
The Union Minister also said that the previous governments stalled many projects due to varied reasons. �In 2014, when Modi became the Prime Minister of the country, the projects like Shahpur-Kandi, Rattle Project and some others were started,� Dr Jitendra Singh said, while adding, �Five new power projects have also been started in Kishtwar�.
BJP�s National Spokesperson, Sardar RP Singh and BJP�s State Press Secretary, Dr Pardeep Mahotra were also present on the occasion.
