SRINAGAR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday criticized the Congress for its stance on Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and the Ram temple issue.
He stated that despite the Congress opening all its fronts against him before the Lok Sabha polls, the people are standing as his protective shield. He said that the Congress had long obstructed the abrogation of Article 370.
Modi said while addressing a public gathering after laying foundation stone of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at Rewari in Haryana.
He said he had given a guarantee and fulfilled it by scrapping Article 370.
“Despite the Congress’ attempts, Article 370 is lost in pages of history. Today in Jammu and Kashmir, women, Dalits, backward and tribals are getting their rights.
That is why people have taken one more pledge and are saying 370 seats for the BJP and 400-plus for the NDA,’’ the Prime Minister said.
