"We are only seeking votes for development": Puducherry BJP Gen Secy Mohan Kumar

BJP's Mohan Kumar says NDA faces no challenge in Puducherry, highlighting rapid development under PM Modi and criticizing past Congress, DMK regimes.

"We are only seeking votes for development because Puducherry never saw such a pace of development. - Mohan Kumar"

Puducherry, April 5

Puducherry BJP General Secretary Mohan Kumar on Sunday said that there is no challenge for NDA in Puducherry, because Congress was in power for 40 years in the UT and DMK was also in power for a decade, but did nothing for the development of Puducherry.

Speaking to ANI, Mohan Kumar, on the upcoming Assembly elections in the state, said, "There is no challenge for us in Puducherry, because Congress was in power for 40 years in the UT... But they could not do much to develop Puducherry, even with such a small population. They used to misuse funds by the central government."

He highlighted that there has been rapid development in the last five years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"When PM Modi came to power, the people here thought he was capable of developing the UT, and in 2021, the NDA formed the government in Puducherry. PM Modi gave the mantra for the development of Puducherry in terms of education, business, tourism, spirituality, and we are achieving the goal set by our Honourable Prime Minister for the development of Puducherry," he said.

Puducherry BJP General Secretary further said that under the leadership of PM Modi, the NDA built a platform, developing Puducherry from the grassroots level, while the Congress and DMK had created adverse situations here.

"We are only seeking votes for development because Puducherry never saw such a pace of development," he added.

Mohan Kumar further said that under the leadership of PM Modi and guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Party President Nitin Nabin, Union Minister and State selection Incharge Mansukh Mandaviya, State incharge of party Nirmal Kumar Surana, party will perform very well in this Assembly election because BJP has created an image of development among the people of Puducherry that is why party is going to benefit and people of state is blessing BJP and our allies party.

Meanwhile, BJP National President Shri Nitin Nabin is arriving on a two-day visit to the Union Territory of Puducherry starting from today, Sunday.

During his visit, Nitin Nabin is scheduled to participate in a grand road show at Thirunallar Main Road, a public meeting at Thavalakuppam, and an organisational meeting with Mandal Presidents and Prawasi Karyakartas.

It's good to hear a politician talk about development goals like education and tourism. But I hope this isn't just pre-election talk. We need to see concrete results on the ground, not just roadshows.

As a young professional from Puducherry, I've seen more job fairs and skill development initiatives in the last few years. The focus on business is crucial for our youth. Let's see if they can sustain it.

While development is important, I feel all parties make similar claims before elections. The real test is governance after winning. Also, mentioning misuse of funds by previous govts is a serious allegation that needs proof.

The tourism potential of Puducherry is huge! If they can truly develop it while preserving our French heritage and spiritual sites, it will be a game-changer for the local economy. 🤞

Visiting Puducherry often, I've noticed improved cleanliness and some new projects. However, traffic management and public transport still need major work. Hope the development mantra includes these basics.
