Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur on Monday said the Central Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has put Jammu and Kashmir on the highway of economic growth.
The BJP leader also attacked the Gupkar alliance, accusing these parties of neglecting the development of higher education institutions and other infrastructure.

"The Modi Government has put the UT of Jammu and Kashmir on the highway of economic growth. We have not only ensured national integrity but also integrated the region with the Aatma Nirbhar Bharat vision," Mr. Thakur told rallies for DDC polls in Rajouri district.

Mr. Anurag Thakur said that J&K will soon emerge as an educational hub. "The IIT, IIM, IIMC and AIIMS will expand educational opportunities for the youth," he said.

He said that the BJP wants the youth of J&K to compete with the rest of India and achieve their aspirations. "Expanding infrastructure and investment in the state will provide them avenues for employment," Mr. Thakur added.

The Union Minister said that the BJP has envisioned setting up of AIIMS and Cancer Institute along with two new Medical Colleges in Udhampur, as well as 22 colleges and two cultural universities.
