JAMMU: BJP leader Raj Rattan Raina expressed his belief that the opening of the Tirupati Balaji Temple in Jammu and Kashmir will have a positive impact on the region’s economy. He highlighted that the temple’s establishment will not only promote spiritual tourism but also contribute significantly to economic development and generate employment opportunities within the Union Territory.
In a statement issued here today, the BJP leader emphasized that the Tirupati Balaji Temple will act as a catalyst for spiritual tourism, attracting devotees from all corners of the country and beyond. This influx of pilgrims will lead to increased footfall, resulting in a surge in demand for various services and amenities in the region. The associated growth in hospitality, transportation, and allied industries will consequently create numerous employment opportunities for the local population, thus bolstering the economy of Jammu and Kashmir, he said.
Furthermore, Raina underscored that the opening of the temple signifies a turning point for the Jammu region, which has historically faced the repercussions of Kashmir-centric policies. He credited the positive change to the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, which has paved the way for unprecedented development and progress in the Union Territory. He acknowledged the proactive and people-centric policies of the BJP government at the Centre as instrumental in achieving this transformation.
The BJP leader expressed his optimism that the Tirupati Balaji Temple’s presence in Jammu and Kashmir will not only foster spiritual enrichment but also contribute significantly to the region’s economic growth. He called upon the people of Jammu and Kashmir to embrace this opportunity and work collectively to harness the full potential of this momentous development.
