JAMMU/NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi wooed voters here on Saturday, saying for the first time formation of a full-majority BJP govt aligned with the "long suppressed" aspirations of the people in Jammu is a certainty and voters in the region should not miss this opportunity.

"This election will yield a historic verdict, allowing the people of Jammu to choose their own govt for the first time," the PM asserted, as he emphasised the slogan "Jammu Ki Yahi Pukar, Aa Rahi Bhajpa Sarakar", resonating with the crowd. Addressing a rally at the jam-packed Maulana Azad Stadium here, PM Modi said, "It is clear that BJP, for the first time, will form a govt with its own majority. It will be sensitive to interests of Jammu region which were ignored all these decades. This will mark a historic opportunity and you should not let go of it."

The PM's remarks reflect the growing estimate in BJP circles that the trend so far has shown that the Valley-based parties - National Conference , which has Congress as its ally, and PDP - are not going to get enough seats to form govt.


Asserting that people of Jammu & Kashmir have understood that only BJP can put an end to their miseries and fulfil their dreams, PM Modi said, "In the first two phases of assembly election held on Sept 18 and 25, people have voted in favour of BJP because they are fed up with dynastic rule in J&K ."


"The people of J&K are fed up of violence and bloodshed. They want to live in peace and see development, which only BJP can give," he added.

PM Modi also tapped into the widely-held resentment in Jammu region about getting raw deals in the dispensations dominated by NC, its ally Congress and PDP. He accused the three parties of indulging in "politics of appeasement" and said they can go to any extent for that.
