My first priority is relief for the flood victims, for farmers, for businessmen, for employment to local youth and infrastructure development.

Seventeen months back, nobody could imagine of comparing Indian economic growth with that of China. Today it is said India's economy is growing faster that that of China. I was today reading a report by an international agency, the Transparency International. In the last 50 years, for the first time India is ranked 10 steps ahead of China in transparency and its fight against corruption. We were ranked at 95 in this list and today we are ranked at 85, says the PM.

We have to follow the path shown by Atal ji. From this stage, Atal ji had raised the slogan of 'Kashmiriyat' (eclectic, sufist culture), 'Jamhooriyat' (democracy) and 'Insaaniyat' (human values). I repeat those words and say that the development of Jammu and Kashmir has to stand on those three pillars. Without the eclectic, sufist culture of 'Kashmiriyat' not only Kashmir, but entire India is incomplete. The massive participation of people in Kashmir in the 2003 elections was a great contribution to democracy based on the principle of 'Jamhooriyat'. Even if the world changes through technological advances, nothing can be achieved without the human values of 'Insaaniyat', says the PM.

I am attracted by Kashmir since I have seen love of the people here. I have visited far flung areas of Kashmir when I came here in the past as a BJP worker. Kashmir has suffered a lot over the years. It was because of this love that when floods hit Kashmir last year I was as pained as anguished as any of you. That is why I immediately came here that time to work together with the then state government for helping the victims. I decided I should come here instead of celebrating Diwali with friends. On my birthday on September 17 last year, I went to touch the feet of my mother. She would always give me a few coins on my birthday, but last year she gave me Rs 5,000 saying that this money was for the flood victims of Kashmir: PM Narendra Modi
