Mahadangal: Kashmir rail project fulfilled after 30 years, Modi promises progress won’t bow to terror | ABP NEWS

In today’s episode of Mahadangal, we cover Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s landmark inauguration of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, fulfilling a dream nearly 30 years in the making. This critical rail connection now links Kashmir with the rest of India, marking a new chapter of development for the region. PM Modi sent a strong message that no terrorist conspiracy or attack, including the recent Pahalgam incident, can halt Kashmir’s progress or spirit. Calling the attack an assault on humanity and “Kashmiriyat,” he warned that anyone attempting to obstruct growth would have to face him first. Modi also praised Operation Sindoor as a major success against terrorism, stating it sent a clear warning not only to Pakistan but to the entire world: terror bases will be destroyed and voices of terror silenced. However, the opposition continues to question the operation’s transparency and intentions. The Mahadangal debate further saw BJP spokesperson Rohan Gupta defending the Modi government’s role in Kashmir’s development, criticizing Congress for politicizing the issue and ignoring previous delays. SP’s Rajkumar Bhati expressed concerns over security lapses and criticized BJP’s monopolization of credit for army efforts. NC’s Imran Dar highlighted unmet promises post-Article 370 and ongoing security challenges. Sangh thinker Rakesh Sinha supported Modi’s poverty reduction claims, while Bhati cited economic data suggesting rising inequality. The discussion revealed deep political divides over Kashmir’s progress, security, and governance.
