LEH (LADAKH), May 3: BJP State president and former MLA, Ravinder Raina today cautioned the people of Ladakh against the false propaganda of Congress and alleged that party which ruled for 60 years at Delhi and in the State totally neglected the Ladakh region in development.
Addressing public rallies in support of party candidate for Ladakh Lok Sabha seat at Chushut and Spituk areas of Leh today, he said BJP led Government at Delhi made record development in last five years throughout the country whether it was in construction of schools, roads network, hospitals as well as supply of drinking water and electricity.
“The party will carry forward this developmental programme in future giving main thrust to backward and far-flung areas of country like Ladakh and North Eastern States. He said many developmental programmes were also initiated in J&K State including Ladakh and BJP led Government deserves full credit for declaring Ladakh region a separate division and opening of University campus in this hilly region.
Raina said construction of Zojila Tunnel will be a game changer for Ladakh region as with its construction the Ladakh will remain linked to rest of the country for complete 12 months of the year.
He said, besides a network of roads has also been initiated in the region and all thrust will be given in promotion of tourism in Ladakh by giving main emphasis on development of eco tourism for which the region has a great potential.
The BJP State president said that his party is committed to grant of UT status to Ladakh and inclusion of Bhoti language in 8th Schedule of Indian Constitution which have been long pending demands of the people of the region. Besides other demands will also be settled which included opening of Kailash –Mansarovar road via Ladakh.
He said it was BJP Government which started Sindhu darshan in Ladakh to expose the region to rest of the world in promotion of pilgrimage tourism. The apricot production will be paid special attention to boost economy of the people and Degree colleges will be opened in those areas which san facilities of higher education, besides creation of more districts as demanded by the people of the region will also be given preference.
He appealed the people of Ladakh to vote for BJP candidate and ensure the thumping victory of party led by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah so that the fruits of democracy are percolated to grass root level in the country and common masses are benefitted by it.
