Addressing a huge crowd of people at Paloura’s Manhas Biradari Ground, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “After very hard efforts our local BJP leaders have pulled out Jammu and Kashmir from the hard times. I have come here to appeal locals to make Jugal Kishore Sharma ji win and when you press lotus button the vote will go to Modi, Jugal Ji will be elected as MP for third time while PM Modi will become PM for the third time. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee ji gave the slogan “EK Desh Me Do Vidhaan, Do Nishaan Nahi Chalega Chalega. In the entire country our Tiranga is touching the sky with pride, respect and also in J&K, the sacrifices of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee is getting appreciated when Article-370 was done away by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Highlighting the govt schemes, the incumbent Union Home Minister, Amit Shah said,” J&K people have benefitted the most in PM Modi’s ten years rule. There was a time when such a huge gathering was not possible as there used to be hartals, and the stone pelters have laptops in their hands now. The whole country benefitted as Narendra Modi ji became the Prime Minister because people got houses, toilets, tap water, free of cost five kilo gram ration, 5 lac medical insurance. There was a time when such public gathering was unimaginable as there used to be hartals, bomb blasts, Bandh calls from Pakistan and this was because due to the ominous shadow of Article-370 on whole Jammu and Kashmir. The stone pelters now have laptops in their hands”.

Speaking about the reservation granted by the incumbent govt to Paharis, OBCs, Women, PoJK in Jammu and Kashmir, he said,”Paharis, OBCs, Women, PoJK, Gujjar and Bakarwals in Jammu and Kashmir did not used to get reservation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government started doing justice with everyone as NC and PDP were instigating Gujjar and Bakarwal community that their reservation will be cut and I said in parliament that we will not even touch 1% of Gujjar reservation”.
