PM Modi said he was happy to meet Nazim
Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a selfie he took with a fan at a rally during his visit to Kashmir today. Nazim, a beneficiary of the Viksit Bharat program, interacted with the PM at the event and requested him for a selfie. The PM obliged.
In a post on X, PM Modi said, "A memorable selfie with my friend Nazim. I was impressed by the good work he's doing. At the public meeting he requested a selfie and was happy to meet him. My best wishes for his future endeavours".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on his first visit to Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370, said his government will continue to work hard to win the hearts of the people of the Valley.
"Whenever I have come here after 2014, I have always said that I am working hard to win your hearts and I am seeing that I have been able to win your hearts. I will keep trying hard. This is Modi ki guarantee and you know that 'Modi ki grantee' means. There is a guarantee of fulfilling the guarantee," PM Modi said addressing a public gathering in Srinagar.
The PM spoke about the "Viksit Bharat, Viksit Jammu-Kashmir" programme at Srinagar's Bakshi Stadium where he inaugurated multiple projects related to agriculture and tourism.
The NDA government led by PM Modi faced severe criticism from the regional parties and other opposition parties of the country after it abrogated the provisions of Article 370 on August 5, 2019, and bifurcated the erstwhile state into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
Today's event is seen as part of PM Modi's campaign ahead of the upcoming general elections to be held in April and May, the first since the region lost its autonomy.
The last election for the region's legislative assembly was held in 2014.
