Taking a dig at both the successive National Conference and PDP governments as also their coalition partner Congress for the present situation in the state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that Jammu and Kashmir needs development.

Addressing an election rally of nearly 50,000 people at Sports Stadium here, Modi said enough hollow promises have made to the people.

Jammu and Kashmir’s progress has to be done through development. It needs roads, electricity, water, schools and hospitals,” he said. “For doing all this, I need your support.” He appealed to the people to turn up at polling booths in huge numbers despite the severe cold.

He asked the people to teach a lesson to NC and PDP, as also Congress during the assembly elections. “You have seen many governments, but do you remember any having done any good work for you, or having stood by you sharing your pain and suffering?’’ he asked. As the crowd responded with a “No”, he asked them: “Why have you been electing them time and again? In a democracy, are the governments made for the enjoyment of leaders?”

Pointing that governments in a democracy have to listen to public grievances and initiate welfare schemes, he said “Your only mistake is that you have never punished them for their wrong-doings.”

Modi said the Congress has been sneaking into every government in the state. “Whether it is the National Conference or the PDP forming the government, Congress joins hands with them to stay in power. However, at the time of elections, it backstabs them, comes out of the government and projects itself as their opponent.”
