EDITORIAL
Overwhelming support for BJP
from Kashmir to Kanyakumari
T
he massive victory of BJP in District Development Council (DDC) is set to open a new era in the
political history of Jammu-Kashmir. The successful conduct of the DDC elections, heavy voter turnout
and the way people participated and responded in these elections show not only the power of unity
and integrity but people’s faith in democratic process and the politics of development and performance.
While the constituents of Gupkar alliance may still refuse to introspect over the results, the emergence
of independents as winners in many seats may lead to creation of new leadership committed to fulfil the
aspirations of the people. It is clear that the people of Jammu-Kashmir want to come out of the regressive
politics of dynasty, corruption and alienation and embrace the politics of development, performance and
integration in the days to come. The DDC elections have not only deepened the roots of democracy but
also show immense support for the policies and programmes of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi who is
committed to pave the path of development in the region.
The people across India are blessing BJP with victories and supporting the programmes and policies
of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. While in Bihar assembly elections the NDA was blessed with clear
majority by the people of the state for the fourth time, in the by-elections that were held

heights. While BJP is increasingly getting people’s support in the country, Congress led
opposition is developing cold feet. The condemnable attack on the convoy of BJP
National President Shri JP Nadda in West Bengal is a pointer to the growing nervousness of TMC government
in the state. While TMC is fighting a losing battle in West Bengal, Congress led opposition is pushing itself
on suicidal tracks in desperation. In utter frustration the Congress has aligned itself with destructive forces
in the country and getting increasingly identified with ‘tukde-tukde gang’ while creating confusion through its
malicious propaganda campaigns. The most recent instance is that in place of supporting the revolutionary
pro-farmer and pro-agricultural reforms in the country, it’s trying to foment troubles by creating confusion
and misleading a section of farming community.
India is experiencing a newfound confidence under the dynamic and visionary leadership of Prime Minister
Shri Narendra Modi and rising at global stage. The recent award of ‘Legion of Merit’ by US is recognition of
the people of India who are showering their blessings on Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi again and again.
The overwhelming support for BJP and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s appeal for an ‘Aatmnirbhar
Bharat’ can be seen from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. As the new saga of unity, integrity and development is
being written, strengthening of democratic process in India is taking the country to newer heights.
