Before the Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has guaranteed the people of Udhampur that soon Jammu and Kashmir will get back the statehood and assembly elections will be held. Addressing the rally, PM Modi said, “The time is not far when assembly elections will be held in Jammu and Kashmir also. Jammu and Kashmir will get back its statehood.
