Pawan Kalyan Says Article 370 Abrogation Reshaped J&K, Ladakh
A leader named Pawan Kalyan, who is the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, spoke about a big decision in India.
Seven years ago, the Indian government removed a special rule called Article 370 that had applied to Jammu and Kashmir.
The leader said this decision changed the future of Jammu and Kashmir and a nearby region called Ladakh.
He said both regions are doing better now with better roads, hospitals, schools, and more visitors.
He talked about big projects like the Chenab Rail Bridge and new tunnels through the mountains.
He thanked India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and Home Minister Amit Shah for making the decision happen.
He also remembered an old leader named Syama Prasad Mookerjee, who wanted one country to have one set of rules.
He said Ladakh becoming its own separate region has helped it develop faster.
He said some security and political challenges are still being addressed, but he is hopeful for a brighter future.
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan marked the seventh anniversary of Article 370's abrogation in a post on X.
He called the abrogation a historic turning point, saying Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh have progressed through better connectivity, infrastructure, healthcare, education, and investment.
He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and recalled Syama Prasad Mookerjee's vision of 'Ek Desh Mein Do Vidhan, Do Nishan, Do Pradhan Nahi Chalenge.'
He cited landmark projects including the Chenab Rail Bridge, Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link, Zojila Tunnel, Z-Morh Tunnel, AIIMS Jammu, and new medical colleges.
He thanked PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and security and civil personnel, noting that Ladakh's formation as a separate Union Territory opened a new development chapter.
