Speaking to reporters, Andrabi said the 11 years of the BJP rule in the country have been exemplary.

"History will remember Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rule as a golden era for the country. India is now called a developed nation and an economic power. Modi has taken India out of poverty... Kanyakumari was connected with Kashmir via a rail link. Our dreams are being realised," she said.

Referring to the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, Andrabi said peace in the valley, once unimaginable, was established by Modi after August 5, 2019 -- when the Centre revoked J-K's special status.

"He (Modi) made J-K a paradise on earth once again. People have started forgetting the black days of Kashmir," she added.

BJP's J-K unit spokesperson Altaf Thakur said these 11 years have been the years of reasonable and responsible governance in which there was accountability, innovation and transformation.

He said before 2014, there were only scams in Congress governments, but there has not been a single case of corruption in these 11 years. This is good governance and reflects the commitment of zero tolerance by the prime minister.

Today, India has emerged as a leader in the world, a Vishwaguru, Thakur said.

Jasrotia, while addressing the press conference at Baramulla, highlighted the role of the Modi government in making India the fourth-largest economy in the world.

He also referred to the recent Operation Sandoor, stating that India used advanced technology and responded effectively to Pakistan. He said India has now become a powerful nation and is moving towards becoming a Viksit Bharat.
