Amit Shah on Friday released BJP’s “Sankalp Patra” for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly polls
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Home Minister released the saffron party’s manifesto for the Jammu and Kashmir polls in Srinagar on Friday and said that the reversal of Article 370 abrogation was not possible.
Among the 25 promises made by the party, the first included ‘wiping out terrorism and separatism in the state’, followed by prioritising and enhancing women’s financial security and self-reliance.
Ahead of releasing the party’s “Sankalp Patra”, Shah said, “Article 370 is part of history and will never come back. The people of the country and the state respect the abrogation of Article 370.”
“Since Independence, the issue of Jammu and Kashmir has remained important for our party, and we’ve always tried to keep this region with India. From Pandit Prem Nath Dogra’s struggle to Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s sacrifice, this struggle was taken forward first by Jana Sangh and then by the BJP because we believe that Jammu and Kashmir has always been a part of India and will remain so,” Shah also said.
Elections in Jammu and Kashmir are scheduled in three phases, which will be conducted on September 18, 25, and October 1.
