BUDGAM: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu & Kashmir General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul held a series of organizational meetings in Budgam as part of the ongoing campaign for the Budgam Assembly Constituency by-election.

Addressing an important meeting of party leaders and cadre at Booth No. 167 in Kruhama, Budgam, held at the residence of Meraj Din Sheikh, Ashok Koul emphasized the need for every BJP worker to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the election campaign. He said that every booth is the foundation of BJP’s victory. He stressed that the party cadre must reach out to every household, convey the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and seek people’s support for the BJP candidate in Budgam. The people are witnessing the unprecedented development, peace, and progress under the Modi government and want to strengthen BJP through their votes, he said.

Ashok Koul added that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have grown disillusioned with the opportunistic politics of parties like the National Conference (NC), which have only served their own interests. Now the people want a dispensation that delivers and that is only possible under the BJP, he asserted. Ashok Koul expressed confidence that the collective efforts of the BJP cadre and the people’s trust in the Modi government will ensure a historic victory for the party in Budgam.

Ashok Koul also presided over a meeting of all Booth Presidents at the BJP Election Office, Budgam, where he reviewed booth-level preparations, voter outreach plans, and coordination mechanisms. Later, he addressed another meeting at Booth No. 115, Narkara-D, Budgam, which was attended by General Secretary Anwar Khan, Secretary Mudasir Wani, District President Hakeem Ruhalla, and Ashraf Azad, among other senior leaders.

Speaking on the occasion, Anwar Khan said that the growing support for BJP in Budgam reflects people’s faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and the party’s vision for inclusive development. Mudasir Wani urged party workers to maintain close contact with voters and convey the BJP’s pro-people agenda. Hakeem Ruhalla emphasized that the district team is working tirelessly at every booth to ensure a decisive victory for the BJP candidate in the by-election.
