“On both the occasions, Shri Modi communicated well with the people here, especially with young people.”

Touching on the election manifesto of the party titled ‘Sankalp Yatra’, Dr. Singh said that the party aims to do away with the thirty years of violence and seventy years of separatism. “We have over these years witnessed people talking about loose accession, soft separatism, the reason of which mainly was Article 370, as a result of which over fifty thousand people died with the commoners, especially youth suffering the brunt.”
