BJP chief JP Nadda on Thursday stated that there is a state of panic in China at the moment because PM Modi has covered the border area by constructing a 4,700 km-long road from Arunachal Pradesh to Ladakh in the last five years. He also said that the jawans of the country have given an answer to the maladministration of Pakistan.

'Befitting reply to maladministration of Pakistan'

Addressing an election rally in Bihar's Aurangabad, he said, "At this time there is a panic in China, that is because Modi Ji has covered the border area by making 4,700 km road from Arunachal Pradesh to Ladakh in the last five years." "The country is moving ahead at a very fast pace. The leadership of PM Modi has given a befitting reply to the maladministration of Pakistan. In the same language, the soldiers of the country have given an answer to China and told how India is going under the leadership of Modi Ji," he added.

Meanwhile, India and China are currently engaged in a dialogue both at military and diplomatic levels to ease the tensions at the border.  Amid the border standoff with China, India is expediting work on several key projects including on a strategic road linking Darcha in Himachal Pradesh with Ladakh that will criss-cross a number of high-altitude snow-bound passes.

The nearly 290-km-long road will be crucial for the movement of troops and heavy weaponry into the frontier bases of the Ladakh region and will provide a crucial link to the Kargil region.
