Jammu, Dec 16: The Maulana Azad Stadium on Tuesday was surcharged with the Modi slogans amid thick security cover, almost covering more than one kilometer radius of the venue, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed more than 1.20 lakh gathering in the last phase of assembly elections.
The markets in the proximity of the venue were lifeless. But the mood inside the venue was electrifying—the scene "saffronized" as cloth sheets of saffron color dangled around the boundaries, and BJP buntings and festoons crisscrossed the stadium, besides colorful ‘rangoli’ and four mega screens were the feature of the PM rally.
As per organizing member of the BJP team, the party supporters were ferried from different districts in more than 1000 buses.
Much ahead of PM speech, the local party cadre wooed spectators.
Dr Jitender, MP said that other parties are trying to mislead people by propagating wrong information about BJP, but the saffron party has been very much intact with its ideology.
Jugal Kishore said that BJP stands for the development of all the three regions of the state, unlike previous governments that were centered towards particular region.
Inside the ground, the gathering of 1.20 was eagerly waiting for the Prime Minister. When Modi finally appeared on the stage, positioned at some 15 feet from the ground level, at 3:15 pm, the supporters and VIPs, seated in the ground stood up to welcome him amid slogans of ‘Har Har Modi, Ghar Ghar Modi.
Dressed in a black color suit, Modi waved towards the supporters from all corners of the stage.
For Vicky Mathur of Udhampur, who had come to attend the rally said that he had come to attend this rally only to hear Modi, who is a ‘good orator’ and has the ‘capacity to mobilize gathering’. He said, “I am not a big fan of BJP and it is for sure I am not going to vote for them, but their star campaigner is a good one to hear.”
The Prime Minister began his speech by naming all the party candidates and leaders present on the stage as people in the gathering shouted pro-Modi slogans.
After introductory part, Modi waved one more time and said in his candid attitude, “I have a complaint with the people of Jammu region. When I came here during Lok Sabha elections for campaigning for myself, not many people gathered at this venue, but now the number is double.”
His 40 minute speech was more development-centric, wherein he stressed on the tourism of the Jammu region and said successive governments of the state had deprived Jammu region of its share of tourism.
To mobilize gathering, he asked people, who is responsible for this condition of the state, people responded NC, he asked again, people replied with the same answer then he said yes Congress and NC are the culprits. He held father-son and father-daughter responsible for the mess in the state.
Modi talked about unemployment and vast tourism potential in Jammu and said that BJP alone can develop it and can generate much needed employment for educated youth.
He also raised the issue of ‘discrimination’ with the Jammu region and said that Kashmir-centric governments are giving step-motherly treatment to Jammu region.
Today was Modi's 5th visit to Jammu region and his first to Jammu for canvassing for party candidates.
The excitement of the people was electrifying as soon as he finished his speech.
