He was addressing a press conference here. Dr Nirmal Singh said that Prime Minister would arrive here as part of the election campaigning for the BJP.

He was flanked by BJP National Spokesperson Shazia Ilmi, Former MLC Surinder Ambardar, Media Incharge Kashmir Sajid Yousuf Shah. "During his earlier visits the PM Modi communicated well with the people here, especially with young people. Shri Modi has a vision for Jammu and Kashmir, especially for the youngsters," Dr Singh said.

The BJP leader added that the assembly elections are no ordinary given the huge participation of people in the process in recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.

"These elections are a success of India and its constitution. The neighbouring country Pakistan had been making efforts to subdue the process in Jammu and Kashmir.

Regarding the election manifesto of BJP, Dr Singh said that his party aims to do away with the 30 years of violence and 70 years of separatism.
