Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the Jammu and Kashmir government will have to provide accounts of each and every penny spend on the Rs 80,000 crore package announced by him so that the package would not be an end but a beginning in the development of the state.
"I have said this in Srinagar, that the pace at which you spend the money, the perfect progress you make and give account of each and every single penny spent (app jitna pai pai ka hisb doge), so take it in writing that this Rs 80,000 crore package would not be the full-stop, but an auspicious beginning", Modi said while addressing a public rally here today.
"How you implement it, how fast you do it, how perfectly you do it, how much of people's participation is there, then the treasury of Delhi and the heart of Delhi is dedicated for Jammu and Kashmir", he said.
Modi said that the package announced by him would also cater to the the victims of 2014 floods.
"The Rs 80,000 crore worth of package will also cater to the damages caused in Jammu as well as in Srinagar due to last years flood. It is a step to help them. The businesses which have suffered would also be helped. Many hospitals, many schools, many roads, bridges that got damaged would also be reconstructed", he said.
While stressing on providing employment opportunity to the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, he said that the package would also help increase the employment opportunities for the youth of the state.
"Apart from that Jammu and Kashmir should get new energy and that energy would come when the youth of the state will get employment. The steps that need to be taken to increase the employment avenues in the state have also been taken into consideration while deciding this Rs 80,000 crore package", he said.
The prime minister said that there are many steps which have been taken into considerations including the skill development, education, IIT, IIMs, hospitals, AIIMS and when all these facilities would be fully developed the people will get employment.
"This is so far the biggest package in the history of the state of the Jammu and Kashmir", he said.
