NPP leader also charged Mr Modi with luring the voters by offering them to increase the capacity of the Hydel Project in Kishtwar and providing them special package for developing tourism in the area. He wondered why Mr Modi failed to mention a single word against Pakistan, terrorists, militants or anti-national elements which had created havoc in Kishtwar to disturb communal harmony. He said Mr Modi was referring refugees’ problem which had no smell in Kishtwar district.
