"It (J&K government) will continue with its zero tolerance for the subversive and anti-national activities by militants and their supporters. It has zero tolerance to terror acts", he said at a function in Rajouri district.

He asked his supporters to take the party activities and the Central and the state governments' schemes to the people. Singh targeted the opposition National Conference and Congress for "negative role" on vital issues like GST, terrorism and separatists for "petty political gains". While condemning the attack on Amarnath yatris, he appreciated the "positive role of locals". BJP national vice president and prabhari J&K state Avinash Rai Khanna, while addressing the meeting, asked the leaders to extend the party base to every nook and corner of the state for achieving the target of 44 plus in the next assembly elections.
