Our organizational network serves as a bridge between the people and the administration, ensuring that genuine public issues are raised at the appropriate forums and resolved in a time-bound manner," Koul said.

Koul further said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, public welfare, transparent governance, and inclusive development have become the guiding principles of governance. He urged party workers to remain actively connected with the people, listen to their concerns with sensitivity, and work tirelessly to ensure that the benefits of various welfare and development schemes reach every deserving beneficiary.
