SAMBA: MLA Samba Mr Surjeet Singh Slathia today said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is committed to nation-building and fostering progress across all segments of society for realising the Viksit Bharat vision of Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi.

Laying foundation stone of the Over Head Tank (OHT) at Village Chak Medu Basotra Supwal in the Samba Assembly Constituency, Mr Slathia, who is also the Pradesh BJP Vice President, while interacting with the locals, said under the decisive leadership of the Prime Minister, special impetus was given to implementation of various welfare programs and development of Jammu and Kashmir to make it equal partner of the country’s growth story for continued five years post abrogation of Article 370.

ā€œThe holistic development in both the regions and their sub regions is discernible in every sector ā€œ, Mr Slathia said, hoping the new dispensation will carry forward the Prime Minister’s mission and not betray the developmental trajectory of the region.
