In every sector, Jammu &Kashmir has attempted to provide direct benefits to beneficiaries in two years and it is natural that middlemen will be angry, but we are not afraid of their displeasure

I want ask those who raise questions, that for so many years three families ruled Jammu & Kashmir, then why did all these developments not take place, if you could not do all this, then what is the point of misleading the people of Jammu and Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir has the potential to attract tourists from all over the world, but the kind of statements being made by some leaders of Jammu of Kashmir, they do not want tourism to increase in Jammu and Kashmir
I want to say clearly that your statements will not make any difference and Jammu &Kashmir has registered record number of tourists in winter this year and this growth will continue in the days to come
Employment and tourism are interlinked in Jammu & Kashmir, but there is a conspiracy by the opposition to keep youth away from employment by issuing such statements, so that tourists do not visit,the people of Jammu and Kashmir should also know this fact
The youth of Jammu &Kashmir which was forced by those previously in power to go to Pakistan and abroad to study medicine, I want to tell them that from 1947 to 2014, there were 4 medical colleges and 500 seats in Jammu – Kashmir

Those who spread lies due to their political interests and saying that the Valley’s land will go, I ask them whose land has been taken away in the Valley, the development of Jammu &Kashmir is being obstructed by misleading statements and lies such as these
Those who used to say that violence will increase, ask them whether violence has increased or decreased, they would say investment will not come, today investment worth Rs.12,000 crore has come due to new industrial policy in just one year and arrival of tourists has also increased and Jammu & Kashmir has started its journey on the path of development
Due to their vested political interests, those who try to create a different kind of feeling especially in the minds of the people of the Valley, I request the people of Kashmir, the people of Jammu & Kashmir not to be misled by them
Democracy has reached the grassroots level and these people are disturbed due to this, only democracy can bring prosperity and development in Jammu and only democracy can give employment to youth and for democracy to be good, it is most important that peace should exist in Jammu & Kashmir
