Election Polls

Srinagar voter turnout most satisfying moment of LS polls, says PM Modi

Statehood for Jammu and Kashmir will come at the right time, Modi said in a television channel interview recently.

Statehood for Jammu and Kashmir will come at the right time, Modi said in a television channel interview recently.

Srinagar voter turnout most satisfying moment of LS polls, says PM Modi

“We want to be successful, not in terms of power, but rather in terms of improving the overall situation in the region (J&K)," PM Modi has said in a recent interview (PTI).


Jammu and Kashmir will get statehood at the right time, PM Modi has said, adding that the most fulfilling moment for him was the high voter turnout of 38 per cent in the Srinagar LS constituency on May 13.

 

The highest percentage of voting since 1996 suggested that his decision to abolish Article 370 was right, PM Modi added.

 

In an exclusive interview with Aaj Tak television channel, the Prime Minister said, "Throughout the election process, the Srinagar voter turnout is the most satisfying moment for me."

 

He  added that the “government does not discriminate against anyone based on their religious beliefs."

 

On restoration of statehood, he said: "It is my commitment, I promised in Parliament that when the environment is favourable, we will give back statehood to Jammu and Kashmir."

The government was  committed to its promise, “we want to be successful, not in terms of power, but rather in terms of improving the overall situation in the region (J&K)."

 

Recalling the “criticism” he faced and the “abuses" he had to deal with over internet shutdowns,” PM Modi said he used to be questioned by journalists about it and would be asked how it could happen in a democracy.

 

A lot of good for Kashmir had been accomplished, the Prime Minister claimed, saying he could glimpse the future. “Your perspective was focused on 24-hour news outlets, but mine was on the future and interests of my nation.”

 

The future of “the youth in Kashmir” was saved. Thus they did not "disappear,” the PM said.

 

For him, Modi said, the elections were like a festival. It was “satisfying to see people celebrating, laughing over a cup of tea, and voting." 

 

Asked to respond to accusations of being against a particular community, he said "I am not bashing Muslims. I'm speaking out against appeasement politics. I follow a secular policy. I believe there should be no prejudice in government.”

 

 When questioned about why he was making anti-Muslim remarks, Modi said that his policies spoke for themselves.
