Prime Minister and senior BJP leader Narendra Modi on Saturday said, his party will pursue development in Jammu and Kashmir and rid the State of alleged corruption if voted to power.

Addressing his first rally at Kishtwar in the poll-bound State, he said the new government will complete the development work started by former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee.

Mr Modi charged the ruling National Conference-Congress government with neglecting development work in the State.

He held dynasty politics responsible for lack of development in the State adding that his government will not allow the State to be ruined. He said the people are tired of Pakistan and youth want jobs.

Mr Modi pledged that he will try to make once again Jammu and Kashmir as a favourite location for the film industry.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, however, dismissed the allegations. He said, had they indulged in corruption, people would not have supported them.

Mr Abdullah asked the Prime Minister to tell what his government has found to prove the corruption charges in its six months in office.
