• BJP synonymous to dev, peace in J&K: Tarun Chugh

JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and former minister, Sham Chowdhary, on Friday took command of the election campaign in Suchetgarh Assembly Constituency in favor of party candidate Gharu Ram Bhagat. Sham Chowdhary has represented Suchetgarh constituency in last Assembly elections. It has now been reserved. Sham said that he leave no stone unturned to ensure victory of Gharu Ram. 

A massive public rally was held today in Suchetgarh, where BJP National General Secretary and in-charge of J&K, Tarun Chugh, also participated. Addressing the rally, Tarun Chugh, highlighted the need for the people to vote for BJP for the security and development of Jammu and Kashmir. "This vote is for the security of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said and added, “BJP has ensured stability and peace in the region by abrogating Article 370”.

He also pointed out how 1.50 lakh Kashmiri Pandits were forced to flee Kashmir, and blamed the NC and Congress for this. "The National Conference and Congress are the root cause of the sufferings of the people of J&K and the Abdullahs, Muftis, and Gandhis have ruined J&K for their vested interests," Chugh said.

Chugh termed the abrogation of Article 370 by the BJP as a pivotal step towards the development of Jammu and Kashmir. "By abrogating Article 370, BJP has liberated Jammu and Kashmir from the clutches of political dynasties that have exploited the people here for decades,” he said adding, “Now, Jammu and Kashmir is on the path of peace, development, and prosperity”.

Chugh said that NC-Cong are trying to bring back Article 370, which could once again plunge Jammu and Kashmir into the darkness of militancy and separatism. "These parties want to take us back to that dark era, but I assure you, BJP will never let that happen,” he said.

Article 370 is now a part of history and will never return," Chugh said.  He urged the people to vote for BJP to ensure the continuous development and prosperity of Jammu and Kashmir and to establish a double-engine government, where both the central and state governments can work together to push forward development projects. Sham Chowdhary urged the people to reject NC-Cong in these elections and vote for BJP so that it forms stable government on its own.
