Referring to the Chenani-Nashri tunnel, he said, there has been a sudden rise in the terror attacks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated the tunnel on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
"It is a deliberate attempt by terror groups and separatists in Kashmir and some elements in other parts of the country, who are against various infrastructure development projects undertaken by the PDP-BJP led government," he said.
"These groups have become active in the Valley to counter our government's success on the infrastructure development and other fronts," Sahasrabuddhe said.
"People have shown full confidence in the Modi government. You have seen great success (of BJP) in the recent elections. Tough decisions like surgical strikes, demonetisation are being taken and people largely supported it," he said.

"Naxal activities are under control and the Union government's drive has been effective enough. Such activities will be brought down further for sure," he said.
