Srinagar, Mar 11 (IBNS): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday congratulated BJP for the party’s landslide victories in UP and Uttarakhand polls and impressive performance in Manipur and Goa.

Mehbooba Mufti said it is a clear and decisive mandate for the governance, developmental and economic agenda of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“I congratulate Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi and his party on this resounding victory which is an endorsement of his Government’s governance, developmental and economic agenda,” Mehbooba said in a statement.

“Let us rise to meet the defining challenges of our time confronting Jammu and Kashmir and ensure a dignified and peaceful resolution of the problems confronting the State so that our future generations have not to suffer the miseries of violence and bloodshed,” the statement added.

Violence is only doing incalculable damage to the image of the state and also to its vital economic and social interests, Mehooba said.
