In a scathing critique, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress and the National Conference (NC) of neglecting Jammu and Kashmir's water resources for seven decades, allowing rivers to flow across the border without constructing beneficial dams.

While addressing an election rally in the Mata Vaishno Devi Assembly segment, Modi spotlighted his administration's strides in boosting road connectivity to unlock the region's tourism potential, emphasizing that previous governments lacked the initiative to capitalize on these natural resources.
