Committed to providing corruption free government Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha used the word Meri Sarkar nearly 25 times in his speech, marking the beginning of a transformative era in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. Assuring corruption-free government and administration, his government is committed to transparency and accountability to ensure efficient and effective use of resources. My government will strictly implement this policy to ensure integrity in public life. Any inefficient use or misallocation of resources will be investigated and necessary improvements will be made, so that the people of Jammu and Kashmir get the full benefit of every penny. Appreciated the democratic spirit of the people Mentioning the large number of votes in the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections, he praised the democratic spirit of the people. It symbolizes their faith in the enduring spirit of democracy, the strength of our institutions and the democratic representation of the people of the region. It is an honor to witness the restoration of this House, which once again reflects the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said the most encouraging aspect of the 2024 elections was the high turnout, especially in areas where full participation was traditionally not possible due to the small number of people sympathetic to the separatist ideology. This turnout is an indication that the people of Jammu and Kashmir see electoral participation as a powerful medium to express their concerns and aspirations.
