Revival of J&Ks economy is a priority: Union Minister 6/22/2016 11:45:04 PM Early Times Report jammu, June 22: Declaring revival of economy of Jammu and Kashmir as a priority, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today promised to take positive steps towards revival of sick units and promoting industry in the state. "Revival of economy in the state is our priority," she said while addressing BJP workers here as part of Vikas Parv programme. Referring to the revival of sick units and promoting industry in the state, she promised to take positive steps after going through the Industrial Policy of the state. She said the Modi government wants the economic empowerment of the next generations of poor people. The Commerce Minister claimed that the price rise has been checked under the NDA rule. She expressed commitment of the Modi government towards the rehabilitation of displaced people including refugees. With regard to the issue of Indias entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), she said all countries support it except China with which the matter will be discussed. Sitharaman asked the workers whether they ever thought "that a time will come when the world, which stood against us in the past, will stand with us. But today Modiji has changed the environment. All preparation for India to get NSG membership have been done". Attacking the previous UPA government, she said the country witnessed "total policy paralysis" during UPA-II and the nation had to suffer. "After taking over as PM, Narendra Modi brought the system on rails, introduced work culture and India entered into a new era," the minister said. She said that during previous government, there was no check on infiltration but NDA brought it down. She said the Congress had launched MNREGA with a slogan of gareebi hatao (remove poverty) but "unfortunately it was misused and the poor people were exploited".   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
