NT Bureau, Agencies

Srinagar: Delivering his address at Srinagar's Bakshi stadium after launching several projects on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he has come to win the hearts of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, adding that he has been able to achieve that to an extent as well and would continue to do his hard work in that direction.

‘Dil jeetne aaya hu’ (I have come to win hearts), said the PM on his maiden visit to theKashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.

"2014 ke baad jab bhi aaya maine yehi kaha, main ye mehnat aapka dil jeetne ke liye kar raha hoon. Aur main dino din ye dekh raha hu ki main aapka dil jeetne ki disha me... sahi disha me jaa raha hu. Aapka dil main jeet paya hu, aur zyada jeetne ki koshish meri jaari rahegi, [whenever I have come here since 2014, I have always said that the hard work I am doing is to win your hearts. And I have been able to win your hearts, I am on the right direction. I will work towards winning your hearts further]," Modi said.

The success story of Jammu and Kashmir will be the centre of attraction for the world in the future, he added. "J&K has been a huge victim of 'Parivarvad' and corruption.

The previous governments here had left no stone unturned to destroy our J&K Bank, by filling the bank with their relatives and nephews, these 'Parivarvadis' have ruined the bank.

Due to mismanagement, the bank had incurred so much loss that all of you were in danger of losing thousands of crores of rupees," the PM said.
