Srinagar: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ready for assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir and appeals the Election Commission to announce the dates for the polls in the Union territory. This was stated by Ravinder Raina, president, Jammu and Kashmir BJP, while addressing a massive rally of party activists at Municipal Park in Jawahar Nagar area of Srinagar.
The rally was organized in connection with the ongoing party celebrations to commemorate completion of nine years of BJP Government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which was also addressed by BJP General Secretary Sunil Sharma, Chairperson Jammu & Kashmir Waqf Board Dr Darakhshan Andrabi, and former MLC Surinder Ambardar.
Ravinder Raina in his address, said that the party activists have confidence in the BJP’s ability to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir. He attributed this confidence to the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has worked towards peace in the region and the welfare of its people. Raina emphasized that the BJP is fully prepared for the upcoming assembly elections and believes that the people of Kashmir will vote wholeheartedly for the BJP this time. He said that in the new peaceful, developing Jammu & Kashmir, BJP is the first choice of the majority of the people across regions and communities.
“BJP is the fastest growing political party in Kashmir & those who were threatening people to stop BJP from its entry into Kashmir are now frustrated to see the public support for the party because of its deliverance under the leadership of the Prime Minister”, he said.
Raina urged people of Kashmir to give the BJP a chance, promising development, welfare, communal harmony, and goodwill as their priorities.
He also launched the party’s “Har Ghar Chalo” campaign, which aims to work towards the welfare of the poor and ensure that every individual feels that the government is serving their interests and providing justice.
In his interaction with reporters after the rally, Raina attributed the BJP’s popularity in Jammu and Kashmir to the peace brought about by Prime Minister Modi. He emphasized that Modi’s efforts for the welfare of the people have resonated positively in the region.
Sunil Sharma lambasted Ex-Chief Minister Omer Abdullah for his unruly utterances against BJP’s respected leaders & the Party’s standing in J&K and said that the ‘hate-sellers’ are now preaching to us shamelessly. “Dynasts are frustrated. Their unruly language is enough to expose them before the public. BJP has transformed Kashmir & given a new life to the ailing working systems in the UT”, said Sharma.
Dr Darakhshan Andrabi said that the contribution of the earlier family parties was to divide people on the basis of religions, regions and ethnicities just to loot the resources of J&K. “They gifted us graveyards, migration camps, death & destruction and shamelessly they talked about their contribution. Modiji is the saviour of the people of J&K who ushered in the era of peace, re-construction, development & public welfare without any social divisions, she said.
“They deprived J&K from the local body elections for seven decades and are now talking about our escape from elections. We are ready to uproot them from public space as and when the Election Commission takes a decision”, said BJP General Secretary.
Attended by a huge gathering, BJP Parliamentary Constituency leaders including District Presidents & Other functionaries, Party in-charges were also part of this event. Many prominent public personalities were inducted into the party fold by the President
