PM Narendra Modi to Spend Diwali in Flood-Hit Srinagar people
- 5 years ago
Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted today that he would spend Diwali, on Thursday, in flood-hit Srinagar.
"Will be in Srinagar on Diwali, 23d October & will spend the day with our sisters & brothers affected by the unfortunate floods," PM Modi tweeted. This will be his fourth visit to Jammu and Kashmir since taking charge as prime minister in May.
Close to 300 died and more than 1.5 million people were affected by the floods, the worst the state has seen in 100 years. Mr Modi visited Srinagar once before to survey the large-scale damage.
The Election Commission has indicated that Jammu and Kashmir is fit to hold elections due by December, though the state's ruling National Conference had recommended deferring the process saying much infrastructure had been destroyed by the flood.
All other parties have reportedly told Election officials that the polls should be held on time.
In the five months since he became Prime Minister, PM Modi, 64, has used most major holidays to connect with the masses.
