“Earlier, the development funds were provided only upto MLA and MLC levels but now under BJP regime the funds will reach upto Panchs and Sarpanchs entailing overall development of Jammu and Kashmir. This benevolent process could only be evolved due to scrapping of Article 370”, he maintained.
Sham Lal said that the establishment of a three-tier system of the Panchayati Raj Institutions has been the watershed moment for grassroots democracy in Jammu and Kashmir leading the way for unprecedented development in the Union Territory. “The constitution of Panchayats, Block Development Councils and District Development Councils has not only strengthened grassroots democracy in the Union Territory but also put the power back with the people,” he said.
