JAMMU: "The recent demands for statehood by National Conference, Congress, and PDP are nothing but a desperate attempt to divert attention from their false promises and own misdeeds. It is essential for these parties to introspect and acknowledge their role in Jammu and Kashmir losing its statehood. For decades, these parties have exploited the region's resources, ignored the aspirations of its people, and perpetuated a culture of corruption and nepotism. Their misrule has led to widespread discontent, economic stagnation, and social unrest.

Instead of working for the welfare of the common masses, they focused on strengthening their own families and political dynasties, leaving the public to suffer. Their inefficiency and selfish approach kept the region backward, deprived of development, and fueled separatism and insurgency. The BJP, on the other hand, has always prioritized the welfare of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We have worked tirelessly to promote development, good governance, and social justice in the region.

He further emphasized that after the abrogation of Article 370 and the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into a Union Territory, the central government has taken historic steps for the betterment and empowerment of society. With terrorism and separatism at an all-time low, development projects are progressing rapidly, and people are experiencing peace and prosperity.

Pawan Sharma asserted that the central leadership is wise and capable of restoring statehood at an appropriate time, keeping in mind the interests of the people. He urged opposition leaders to stop misleading the public with rhetoric and instead focus on constructive contributions to the region’s development. Sharma stressed that instead of making unrealistic demands, National Conference, Congress, and PDP should focus on making amends for their past mistakes. They must acknowledge their role in Jammu and Kashmir's downfall and work towards rebuilding trust with the people.

He assured that the BJP will continue to work towards the development and prosperity of Jammu and Kashmir. We are committed to ensuring that the region's people receive the justice, equality, and opportunities they deserve. He urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to remain vigilant and not fall prey to the false promises of National Conference, Congress, and PDP. Together, we can build a brighter future for our region."
