MARH (NAGROTA): Carrying forward Booth Jan Samvad Maha Abhiyaan in Jammu, Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana today highlighted the landmark achievements registered by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, particularly during the past five years, saying that bringing 13.50 crore Indians above the poverty line across the country is itself a record of sorts, as per NITI Ayog data.
“This single unprecedented achievement has brought cheer in the lives of the people in Jammu and Kashmir also, as elsewhere in the country,” Rana said while addressing people in Panchayat Marh in Nagrota assembly constituency here this afternoon.
Rana said that the holistic development under the cherished mission of the Prime Minister Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas has instilled a sense of confidence among the compatriots that India is going to become the third economy of the world in the next term of Yashasvi Modiji and a developed nation by 2047. Just thinking of this makes every Indian proud, he said, adding that the focused attention on Jammu and Kashmir by the Centre during the past four years, after the abrogation of Article 370, has enabled the people to become part of the nation’s growth story.
Devender Rana said that the BJP’s two terms since 2014 have brought a discernible turnaround in the developmental landscape, with poor and marginalized segments emerging as the biggest beneficiaries. He said that the average income which was around Rs 4 lakh in 2014 has increased to Rs 13 lakh in 2023. The number of people moving from the lower-income group to the upper-income group has also increased, he added.
