Article 370 abrogation transformed J&K and Ladakh, says Pawan Kalyan
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Wednesday said the abrogation of Article 370 marked a historic turning point for Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, asserting that both regions have witnessed significant progress over the past seven years.
“Seven years ago, on this day, Article 370 was abrogated. A decision many believed was impossible finally became a reality. Since then, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh have witnessed remarkable progress through improved connectivity, modern infrastructure, expanded healthcare and education, increased investment, and new opportunities that were long overdue,” the Deputy Chief Minister said in a post on ‘X’.
He recalled the words of Syama Prasad Mookerjee, “Ek Desh Mein Do Vidhan, Do Nishan, Do Pradhan Nahi Chalenge.” He said Syama Prasad Mookerjee dedicated his life to this vision.
Pawan Kalyan said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, that vision became a reality.
“Since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, landmark projects such as the Chenab Rail Bridge, Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), Zojila Tunnel, and Z-Morh Tunnel have transformed connectivity across the region. Major investments in AIIMS Jammu, new medical colleges, highways, rural infrastructure, and power projects, along with the implementation of central welfare schemes, have strengthened public services. Record tourist arrivals, industrial and investment initiatives, grassroots democratic institutions, and progress in horticulture and agriculture reflect the region’s steady transformation, even as security and political challenges continue to be addressed,” he said.
