Jammu, October 20 (Scoop News)- BJP’s announcement of Narinder Modi as its Prime Ministerial candidate has electrified and enthused entire nation cutting across all segments, faiths and regions, said BJP Member of Parliament & J&K Prabhari Avinash Rai Khanna while addressing 1-day meeting of State Office Bearers, senior leaders, MLAs, District and Morcha Presidents at Nagbani on Sunday. The meeting commenced with the lighting of the traditional lamp by Avinash Rai Khanna, State President Jugal Kishore Sharma, Leader of Legislative Party Ashok Khajuria, National Executive Member Shamsher Singh Manhas, State General Secretary (organisation) Ashok Koul, party MLAs- Sukhnandan Kumar and Sham Choudhary.
While addressing the meeting, Avinash Rai Khanna said that Narinder Modi’s clean image and as an able and efficient administrator has aroused great hopes in the common man who has been suffering oppressive and rank corrupt governance by Congress-led UPA at the centre. The BJP has always believed in keeping national interests above party interests and this culture has ensured its national leader’s support to it.
Referring to the State, Khanna said that recent developments have proved to be turning points for the BJP as it has proved its commitment for justice to the oppressed and wronged. Be it Kishtwar Incident, where its strong and robust protest by BJP ensured resignation of MoS Home, the Rajouri incident, where the administration was forced to release arrested persons who had been wronged by the miscreants, or the Supreme Court’s direction for CBI inquiry into custodial killing of Rajneesh Sharma , a Jammu boy at Munshi Bagh Police Station in Srinagar on account of BJP’s exertions. Not only this, BJP for the first time contested elections to Kargil Hill Council on 12 seats where as PDP, which has remained in power in the state contested just 8 seats, which is indicative of the BJP’s dynamic growth in all the regions and its effective efforts in pursuing public interests.
Jugal Kishore Sharma, in his address, while appreciating the efforts and work of party’s rank and file, stated that the challenges facing the party are daunting and need sustained and intensive efforts. He added that the people are fed up with the utter corrupt culture of Congress’ UPA and state coalition and have developed healthy regard for BJP and which is to be converted into electoral gains. The people are of the considered view that only BJP is the desired alternative. He also drew attention towards the soft approach policy on Pakistan, price rise, unemployment and mis-governance.
Ashok Khajuria briefed the meeting about the just concluded assembly session and said that valley –centric government gagged the opposition and instead of utilising the session for positive proceedings, digressed into sterile issue of General VK Singh’s utterance and maligning the security forces with Congress’ full backing. He also regretted that the issues of refugees were not allowed to be taken up.
Shamsher Singh Manhas stressed on decentralisation in the party working and regular interactions of senior leaders and prabharis with their respective districts which would effectuate the general positive attitude of the public towards Narinder Modi into victory. He advised that the party workers should be abreast of the public issues and to be active up to booth level.
Ashok Koul, while soliciting the details of party activities at districts level, instructed all the districts the future programmes to be followed by them. He stressed for successful conduct of the scheduled programmes which include Hunger Strike by BJP Refugee Cell, Refugee Adhikaar Yatra, Accession Day celebrations and Secretariate gherao.
The proceedings of the meeting were conducted by State General secretary Rajiv Jasrotia while Kavinder Gupta presented vote of thanks.
