"The reality is that Cherji road project was approved for Rs. 4.50 cr in 2012 and its tender was allotted in 2013 and in same year I laid its foundation stone and Cherji Bridge is the part of the project constructed by CVPP under joint venture" said Kichloo. He said that it is very unfortunate that BJP Minister today tried to take the credit of the project while in actual the new government fails to start any new project in Chenab valley.
He said that it was due to his efforts, the Cherji bridge was completed in four years, added that the words of BJP minister that "Previous governments did nothing in last 40 years" are shameful as BJP minister forget the bridge inaugurated by him today exists due to his and previous government efforts. He said that people of Kishtwar are wise enough to understand the BJP's anti people polices and said that every time people cannot be be-fooled by luring them through communal and divisive politics as was proved by the people of Bihar in recently held elections. He remind minister about his promise made by him during elections as well as after assuming his office which includes, Chenger-Bonda tunnel, 560 Cr Saffron Park, Degree College for Padder, Multipurpose Naigard tunnel, BSNL VHF towers, Sangpora-Viloo tunnel and widening of main road.
He also slammed the minister for playing politics over distribution of Solar Lights, added that 18000 Solar lights was sanctioned for Kishtwar constituency by previous UPA government for which he paid the beneficiary share out of his CDF.

"It is a harsh decision taken by BJP-PDP government effecting our teens--- it need to be revoked immediately" said Kichloo, added that Kishtwar District is educationally backward District and educational institutions lacks facilities that warranted continuation of private coaching system which gives a little bit chance to our students to compete at state and national level examinations.
