He said the administration should focus on development and governance rather than bureaucratic reshuffles. Sharma took part in the BJP exhibition where party leaders highlighted the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government over the last ten years, particularly its focus on development in far-flung areas. He said these efforts had brought significant improvements in infrastructure, connectivity, and welfare schemes for remote regions. On the demand for restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, Sharma reiterated that Prime Minister Modi had already assured it would be fulfilled “at the right time.” He said the BJP remains committed to delivering on its promises, adds the long-pending demand for the Bandipora–Srinagar national highway will be priotrised by party.
