JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir BJP Mahila Morcha President Sanjita Dogra addressed an awareness workshop on the ‘One Nation, One Election’ initiative, emphasizing the necessity of synchronized elections across India. The workshop, organized by Brahma Kumari Branch Head Sarla Ji and her team, at Jaganoo, in Udhampur East Constituency.

She also underlined the importance of public awareness and open discussions to build a well-informed consensus on this crucial electoral reform.
The workshop provided a platform for discussions on the practical aspects of implementing simultaneous elections and the challenges associated with this reform. The attendees deliberated on how such a system could lead to uninterrupted development projects and reduce the financial strain of conducting multiple elections.
Several prominent personalities participated in the workshop, lending their insights and support to the initiative.
