He said that the BJP stands for development, transparency, and empowerment of the last person in the queue. He said that under PM Modi’s leadership, Jammu & Kashmir has entered a new era of peace, progress, and political stability. The people of Nagrota must now ensure that the momentum of development is carried forward by electing Devyani Rana, a young and dynamic candidate who symbolizes women empowerment and new aspirations, he said.
