Srinagar: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) senior leader and in-charge J&K elections, Ram Madhav Sunday said the party in 2014 busted the myth that BJP will never ever form government in Jammu & Kashmir. He said the party will do it again in 2024.
He said the upcoming assembly elections in J&K will be historic, and BJP will certainly create history in polls.
“Earlier it was stated that the people of J&K will never accept the BJP. In the 2014 elections I got a chance to visit here, and there was a rumor that BJP is an outsider for the people of Jammu & Kashmir, and it will remain an outsider in future as well.
“The party was considered New Delhi’s party. It was said that though the party will bag a few seats in Jammu region, it will remain a stranger for J&K. But we busted this myth in 2014. We were in the government later on. BJP proved it is the proprietor of J&K, and we turned the tables,” BJP leader said while addressing party workers in Srinagar.
He urged the workers to reinvigorate their commitment towards the party and ensure the win of BJP in upcoming elections in J&K. “Like we busted this myth in 2014, I urge my party workers to stand with determination and get ready to break this myth again in the 2024 elections,” he said.
Madhav also said that PM Narendra Modi is arriving in Srinagar on September 19, and the upcoming elections in J&K will be historic. “An important election is being held in J&K, and PM Modi is visiting here to address people at the occasion. It will be historic, and BJP will certainly create history in elections,” he said.
About Article 370 abrogation, the BJP leader said that “it has become history”.
“Sixty lakh people of J&K have forgotten Article 370, because people have seen prosperous life in the past five years. 70 percent of Kashmir’s are urging there should have been no elections. They are asking why we have to go for polls, when the situation has improved vastly. Development has taken place, tourism has received a big boost, people are happy with the prevailing situation, business activities have seen a rise,” the BJP leader claimed.
