'Congress played politics with Article 370': Amit Shah
At a rally in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Congress of being soft on Article 370. He declared that even the children of Moradabad are ready to give their lives for Kashmir. 'For 70 years, Congress treated Article 370 like a nurtured child. You voted Modi for a second term and on August 5, 2019, Article 370 was abolished. Today, our tricolor flies high in pride. Under Narendra Modi's leadership, Kashmir is now inseparably united with India.'

Lok Sabha Elections: Much More Than Choosing MPs
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at a rally in Udhampur, expressed that these elections transcend the act of selecting MPs. They are about establishing a strong government that can address challenges on the ground. 'Those who've been here before might recall my speech from 10 years ago. I promised to resolve 60 years' worth of problems. I assured the honor and provision for mothers and sisters, and guaranteed meals for the impoverished. Today, countless families in Jammu and Kashmir have the guarantee of free rations for five years and free healthcare up to Rs. 500,000. A decade ago, many villages in Jammu and Kashmir lacked basic facilities like electricity and roads. Now, electricity has reached every village, and over 75% of homes have access to piped water. The BJP has removed Article 370, an action no other political party dared to do.'
