Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir – Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently concluded a successful visit to Jammu and Kashmir, where he received a heartfelt welcome from the locals amidst a historic assembly election in a decade. The region witnessed an impressive voter turnout of 61.13% in the first phase.

“It is heartening to see the transformation in the region, where fear has been replaced by hope. The people are embracing democracy with open arms,” stated Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh, highlighting the active participation of citizens in the electoral process.

Noteworthy enthusiasm was evident in Kishtwar, Doda, Ramban, and Kulgam, where voter turnout reached impressive levels: over 80%, 71%, 70%, and 62% respectively. These remarkable figures not only surpass previous records but also signify a new chapter in the region’s democratic history.

In a passionate appeal, Prime Minister Modi urged all citizens to break previous voting records in the upcoming election phase scheduled for September 25th, emphasizing the collective responsibility of building a ‘Naya Kashmir.’

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inspired resurgence of democratic aspiration which had gone dormant. What we witness today is the true mainstreaming of democracy in Jammu & Kashmir,” added Singh.

During his visit, PM Modi was presented with a traditional pheran by Irshad Hussain Naikoo, a farmer from Anantnag. Unable to take the PM's measurements directly, Irshad used his own father's measurements to ensure the pheran fit perfectly.

“These gestures only illustrate the deep bond and respect the people of Jammu and Kashmir have for Modi ji, who they regard as a father figure. Today, there is a renewed spirit of optimism, and the narrative in Jammu and Kashmir is changing,” remarked BJP's national media chief Anil Baluni.

PM Modi was warmly welcomed during his visit, with locals embracing him with open arms. A social media trend, ‘#Khushamdeed PM’ emerged, showing the deep affection and acceptance he enjoys there.
