Rahul acknowledges Modi’s achievements in Kashmir: BJP

NEW DELHI, Feb 26:
Rahul Gandhi acknowledged for the first time what the Narendra Modi Government has achieved in Kashmir, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said today, reacting to the Congress leader’s remarks about people in the region hoisting the national tricolour.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters, Patra hit out at the Congress and said the party was practising “negative” politics by portraying a picture of India as a country that is destroyed and where every individual is unhappy.
“At a time when the world is calling India a bright spot, Rahul Gandhi and the string of speeches by their leaders during the Congress plenary are showing as if India is ruined.
“I want to thank Rahul Gandhi for acknowledging for the first time what the Modi Government has achieved in Kashmir. In Jammu and Kashmir where the tricolour was not hoisted before, today, if the Congress party is seeing thousands of tricolours in the same region, then what is the reason behind this, Rahul Gandhi should also think about it,” said Patra.
He also said that if the people in Kashmir are now raising the tricolour and there is a tricolour at Lal Chowk, then it is because of good governance of the Narendra Modi Government.
Addressing the Congress plenary session in Nava Raipur in Chhattisgarh, Gandhi said that during his Bharat Jodo Yatra he had seen thousands of people of Kashmir raising the national tricolour, even in areas that are the worst hit by terrorism. (PTI)
