Addressing a party convention here, Sayeed said that the coalition government's' Agenda of Alliance' remains the binding force that will see a new phase of equitable development in the state. "I met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and discussed with him several important issues. He has assured me of Centre's help in fast-tracking the development agenda of the coalition government," he said. Elaborating on his meeting with Modi, Sayeed said the Prime Minister has a vision to speed up inclusive development in the state. "The new think-tank of NITI Aayog has assured us of our share in the Central funds as per recommendations of the 14th Finance Commission Award. We will use optimal utilisation of these funds and ensure that every penny is spent," he said. He referred to the kitty of Rs 6,000 crore allocated to Jammu and Kashmir under the centrally-sponsored schemes. Welcoming the new office bearers, Sayeed observed that all issues indicated in the 'Agenda of Alliance' mutually agreed to will be implemented and special focus will be given to return of Uri and Dul Hasti hydel power projects to the state. Highlighting J&K's unique position as the only Muslim majority state in the country, Sayeed said the people need to safeguard its special status, which is guaranteed by the Constitution of India. He recalled with satisfaction the farsightedness of the leaders of the state who decided to accede with India. "Keeping in mind the multicultural ethos of J&K, the decision to go with India has proved to be the right one," he observed.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
