New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said that the delimitation process in Jammu and Kashmir has started and soon elections will be held soon.
Speaking virtually at the launch of the District Good Governance Index in Jammu and Kashmir, the Union Minister said, “Delimitation has started and soon elections will be held. I have given assurance in Lok Sabha that as soon as the situation becomes normal in Jammu and Kashmir and statehood will be given back to Jammu and Kashmir.”
Shah further slammed leaders for doing propaganda and said that they are doing this for their own political benefits.
“Many leaders have been talking false and doing propaganda. I want the youth to ask, crores of investment have been coming, tourists have been coming and they are doing propaganda for their own political benefits. The democracy has reached grass root level that is why they do this propaganda and youth should not listen to them,” he said while accusing the political parties of engaging in false propaganda.
“Today is an important day also for the country as what has started from Jammu and Kashmir will be going to other parts of the country. I want to say to the people of Jammu and Kashmir that the Union Territory is going through a transformation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always thought of,” Shah added as he hailed the PM Modi’s vision for the Union Territory.
The District Good Governance Index of the government of Jammu and Kashmir represents a major administrative reform in benchmarking good governance at the district level and a significant step for timely collation and publication of statistics at the state/ district level.
The District Good Governance Index is a milestone and it is expected that it will provide a robust framework for evidence-based assessment of the performance of all the districts in Jammu and Kashmir.
