BANDIPORA: Bharatiya Janata Party J&K organised a district level meeting cum workshop in Bandipora, The Program was chaired by Ashok Koul General Secretary (Organization) where he addressed a Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Aajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB–GRAM G) Workshop and later an organisational meeting with the district team at Bandipora, aimed at strengthening grassroots-level organisational functioning and ensuring effective outreach of government initiatives.
Koul was accompanied by BJP State General Secretary Anwar Khan, State Secretary Mudasir Wani, District President Bandipora Mudasir Jan and other senior party leaders and office bearers.
Addressing party leaders and workers, Ashok Koul elaborated on the VB GRAM G Act, describing it as a landmark initiative focused on employment generation, rural empowerment, and inclusive development. The workshop provided detailed insights into the G-RAM-G (Guarantee for Rozgar and Aajeevika Mission - Gramin) framework, explaining how the new structure would enhance employment opportunities and livelihood security for people in rural areas. He urged party leaders to actively convey the benefits of the Act to the people, especially in rural and far-flung areas, so that maximum citizens can take advantage of the schemes aimed at strengthening village economies and creating sustainable livelihoods. Party workers were briefed on the various provisions of the scheme and how it would directly benefit constituents across different villages and regions.
Following the workshop, a party workers meeting was convened where the leadership emphasized the need for grassroots activism and responsiveness. Koul called upon BJP workers to remain vigilant and proactive in assisting people in their respective areas, constituencies, and districts, ensuring that government schemes and benefits reach the intended beneficiaries without delay and any discrimination.
During the meeting, Ashok Koul launched a sharp criticism of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, questioning his commitment to the people who voted for him. "CM should be available to his people who voted for him and granted a huge mandate to the National Conference," Koul stated. He expressed disappointment over what he described as the Chief Minister's indifference to the suffering of people across the Valley during these crisis times.
Koul took particular exception to reports of the Chief Minister engaging in recreational activities at Gulmarg while citizens grapple with various hardships. "CM sahib should look into the sufferings of people across the Valley in these crises rather than enjoy and go skiing in Gulmarg," he remarked, adding that such actions reflect a disconnect between the leadership and the masses.
In a stinging observation, Koul further stated, "Now people have understood that their votes were just visas of luxury for their leadership they voted." He said the ruling dispensation has failed to address public grievances effectively.
Speaking on the occasion, Anwar Khan said that the workshop and meetings reflect the party's strong commitment to grassroots governance and public welfare, adding that BJP workers in Bandipora will ensure that government schemes and relief measures reach every deserving household. He emphasised the resolve to further strengthen the party Organisation and intensify people-centric outreach across Bandipora district.
