With elections after a 10-year gap, it’s crucial that we vote for a government that prioritises the welfare of the people. We’ve seen firsthand how local initiatives like sheep and dairy farms can empower individuals to take control of their livelihoods, instead of waiting for government jobs. Many of us have already taken advantage of various government schemes to start our own businesses, which are yielding great results. The visible changes around us are proof of progress. Roads that were once rough and unreliable are now smooth, connecting us to distant places like Kargil with ease, allowing us to transport goods and livestock efficiently. Smart City projects, especially the introduction of electric buses, have transformed urban mobility. These buses provide an affordable, eco-friendly, and comfortable means of transportation, making travel easier while reducing pollution and traffic congestion. Not only is the fare lower, but the ride itself is smoother, offering commuters a modern and sustainable option. Ration systems have also improved, now linked to digital platforms, making it convenient for families to access essentials. Thumbprint-based systems are helping ensure that benefits reach the right people. These developments show that we are on the brink of change. As we cast our votes, it’s important to select leaders who can sustain this progress. Let’s choose wisely, trusting in those who will continue to push for innovation and development, ensuring that the future holds more opportunities for growth, self-reliance, and prosperity.
