Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday amid tight security. During the visit, the prime minister will inaugurate several developmental projects in the state and lay the foundation stone of two AIIMS in the state - a long pending promise he had made in the 2015-16 budget. With 2019 Lok Sabha elections around the corner and its vote bank shrinking, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led by Modi is on a spree of laying foundation stone of various developmental projects across the country. The prime minister will inaugurate new projects worth Rs 35,000 crore at Vijaypur and dedicate completed projects worth Rs 9,000 crore in Kashmir and Ladakh. Besides this, Modi will also inaugurate rural Kashmir’s Bandipore district.
