In a series of posts on X in both English and Hindi, accompanied by the #PragatisheelJammuKashmir hashtag, Shah highlighted the transformative efforts of Prime Minister Modi in instilling new hope among the youth of Jammu and Kashmir.
“The Modi government rebuilt Jammu and Kashmir, ending an era of terrorism and violence. The Modi government gave wings to the development of Jammu and Kashmir by rolling out massive infrastructure and welfare schemes, and today it stands as a proud testimony to Bharat’s powerful democracy,” Shah asserted.
He emphasized the rejuvenation of the cultural heritage of Jammu and Kashmir under the Modi government, stating that the Union Territory’s ancient and rich cultural legacy is being revived, contributing to an increase in cultural pride.
