I’m very impressed by Modi Ji's speech today..

He pointed out the opportunities in taking up development projects in both these UTs. New highways, new power projects, new infrastructural developments will now be moved with speed. #RelianceInfra #AdaniPower

‘A Speech From the Heart’

Prime Minister Modi has perfected the art of solving long pending, seemingly intractable problems, simply by tackling them through the economic lens.

His address to the nation, on the Kashmir issue, is a masterclass in this approach. #UnifiedIndia. #KashmirWithModi

‘His Speech Covered All Aspects of Concern’

Good address by PM Modi covering most of the aspects of concern by all & actually reaching out to the people of kashmir .
I hope it will end nefarious designs of terrorists and lead to fast development of J&K and paradise will regain it's beauty. #ModiNationalAddress

As PM Modi focused on the potential of Jammu and Kashmir to become the world’s most coveted international destination for tourism, netizens expressed their hopes for erstwhile state to become a destination for Bollywood as well has Hollywood filmmakers.

PM MODI:- jammu kashmir and ladakh have the potential to be the biggest tourist hub of the world.
There was a time when kashmir was the favourite destination of bollywood filmmakers, i am confident that in future even international films will be shot there.🇮🇳 #ModiNationalAddress

#ModiNationalAddress

A speech that lays the path!

A speech that represents the aspirations!

A speech that is declamatory!

A speech without a tinge of pretence!

May every word of the speech come true and the youth of J&K flourish.

Salute to the visionary man @narendramodi

‘Is ‘J&K’ Able to Listen to PM Modi?’ Twitter Asks

There were a few concerns raised by the Twitterati.

Is #JammuAndKashmir able to listen to #PMModi 's "address to the nation" about its own state? #JammuKashmir #Article370Scrapped #Article35A #Artical370

— Nikita Vashisht (@nikita_vashisht) August 8, 2019

Liked PM’s address on J&K developments but wondering if Kashmiris were able to listen it, after all it was meant for them. Rest of the country is anyways sold on the idea. #ModiNationalAddress #KashmirIsOurWeAreKashmir

— Gyan Tiwari (@gyan2112) August 8, 2019

Takeaway from #ModiNationalAddress: Very confused. If #Artical370 was the hurdle to Vikas in J&K, how does one explain the state of Vikas in the rest of India?

— Mitali Saran (@mitalisaran) August 8, 2019

I'm with the govt. And want only happiness for my India. But,

Decision of BJP on 370 and 35A gave it dividends:
1. Unnao Case forgotten
2. Economy not addressed
3. RTI protesters got no coverage
4. Same for Medical Protesters #ModiNationalAddress

Waiting for Modi Ji address on Slowing economy! #ModiNationalAddress
