All their development promises were thrown into backburner & even basic needs have remained unfulfilled, he said. BJP failed to engage & build a trust with the people of J&K. There was an urgent need to win over the minds & hearts of all sections of people in J&K but. BJP made the people of Jammu&Kashmir go through so much misery & torture. He said.
