Jammu: Ravinder Raina, J&K BJP chief said on Thursday that the party’s president, JP Nadda will visit the Union Territory on July 06 in view of the assembly elections.
Raina also emphasized that the next Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir will be from the BJP.
“BJP national president JP Nadda is visiting Jammu and Kashmir on July 6. BJP’s nationwide victory in the Lok Sabha elections was significant, but victory in Jammu and Kashmir added momentum to the party. BJP has consecutively won both seats in the Jammu division for the third time,” he said.
“Nadda, during his visit to the Union Territory will also address BJP workers. It is a matter of great joy for BJP workers that he is coming to Jammu and Kashmir. BJP is fully prepared for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. Every party worker is engaged in preparation for the assembly elections. We hope that the Election Commission will soon decide on holding the assembly elections here,” Raina added.
The BJP-led government scrapped Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019 and bifurcated the state into two Union territories. There have been demands from political parties for early assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir and restoration of statehood.
Jammu and Kashmir BJP chief asserted further that the next Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir will be from BJP.
Meanwhile, the BJP has appointed Union minister G Kishan Reddy as state election in-charge for J&K.
Pertiently, the Supreme Court has asked the Election Commission of India and the Centre to conduct polls in J&K by September.
Last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Srinagar had said preparations for assembly polls had begun in the UT.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar had earlier also said that the J&K Assembly polls will be held after the Lok Sabha elections.
