Shah said that today is a very important day because in 1948, at this place, the Nizam killed hundreds of people for hoisting a two-and-a-half-feet tricolor and I am fortunate to hoist a 103-feet tall tricolor at the same place today.

Amit Shah said that through the PM Kisan Yojana, 54 lakh farmers of the state are getting Rs.10,000 directly into their bank accounts every year. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, by providing gas, toilets, electricity to every household, 5 kg free food grains to every poor person and free treatment up to Rs. 5 lakh, the government has done many development works for the welfare of crores of poor people of the country.

Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has secured the country completely. Construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya was stuck for the last several years.

After the Supreme Court’s judgement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, performed Bhumipujan and laid the foundation of the Ram Mandir. The previous governments did not remove Article-370 from Jammu and Kashmir due to vote bank politics, while on 5 August 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi abolished Article-370 and made Kashmir a part of India forever. The result of this is that today our Kashmir has become free from terrorism and has progressed on the path of prosperity and development.
