Article 370 is history, won't be back: Amit Shah ahead of Jammu and Kashmir polls
The BJP's poll manifesto for Jammu-Kashmir Assembly elections promises a new tourist hub near Rajouri, and several tourist centres in Jammu.
"We will launch the Tika Lal Taploo Visthapit Samaj Puranvas Yojana (TLTVPY) to ensure the safe return and rehabilitation of the Kashmiri Pandit community," a part of the manifesto read.
Amit Shah also said that the BJP will ensure complete eradication of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, and that a white paper will be issued to fix the responsibility of those involved in the emergence of terrorism.
Tourist centres will also be created in Jammu and the BJP will ensure the welfare of displaced communities, including Kashmiri Pandits, the manifesto said.
Amit Shah said that the union territory shifted from "max terrorism to max tourism" in 10 years.
Commending BJP for its work in the Kashmir valley, Shah said the party demolished the terror ecosystem.
"Terrorism and separatism continued in Jammu and Kashmir till 2014, and different state and non-state actors continued to destabilise the region. Besides, all other government did politics of appeasement to deal with the situation in Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
"Jammu and Kashmir has always been very close to our hearts since 1947. J&K was, is and shall always remain an integral part of India," Shah said. Shah said the BJP's focus will remain on restoration of peace in the valley.
Lashing out at the Opposition, Shah said other political parties indulged in appeasement politics and were "responsible for separatism".
Shah also attacked the poll manifesto released by the National Conference, attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said, "I am surprised how can a political party release a manifesto like this, and how come a national party like Congress supported it unconditionally?
I urge Rahul Gandhi to clear whether he and Congress support National Conference's agenda,"
Assembly elections will be held in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time since the scrapping of Article 370. The Union Territory will go to polls in three phases on September 18, September 25, and October 1. Election results will be declared on October 8.
The BJP's manifesto for Jammu and Kashmir, unveiled by Amit Shah, includes 25 promises focused on development, financial support for vulnerable groups, and job creation. The elections will take place in three phases, starting September 18, aiming to enhance peace and progress in the region.
