BUDGAM: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu & Kashmir General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul, accompanied by Hakeem Ruhalla Gazi, Mohammad Aqeel, and Imtiaz Ahmad, conducted a series of organizational meetings in Budgam to garner support for the BJP candidate Aga Syed Mohsin in the ongoing Budgam Assembly by-election.

The meetings were held at Ichigam-B (Booth No. 170), Qazibagh (Booth No. 163), and several adjoining areas, witnessing enthusiastic participation of local residents and party workers.

Addressing the gatherings, Ashok Koul said that the people of Kashmir are witnessing a new dawn of progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the BJP has opened the floodgates of development in Jammu and Kashmir. From infrastructure growth to welfare schemes, from youth empowerment to women-centric initiatives, every policy is aimed at ensuring inclusive progress. Budgam, like the rest of India, stands to gain immensely if it embraces the BJP’s vision of peace, prosperity, and stability, Koul stated and emphasized that every single vote cast in favour of the BJP will be a decisive step towards a better and brighter future for the next generations.

Speaking on the occasion, Hakeem Ruhalla Gazi appealed to the people to look beyond old political traditions and choose the path of real change. He said that the BJP’s people-centric policies have transformed the socio-economic landscape across the country. Now it’s time for Budgam to be a part of that transformation. This election is not just about choosing a representative, it’s about choosing progress, development, and dignity for every Kashmiri, he said.

BJP leaders collectively urged the voters of Budgam to stand with the BJP, the only party committed to empowering the common people, uplifting the youth, and ensuring that the benefits of national growth reach every household in Kashmir.
