JAMMU: J&K BJP held a meeting at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu to deliberate upon a series of programmes to be organized in honour of the great Maratha queen, Punyashlok Ahilyabai Holkar. The legendary ruler is remembered for her inclusive leadership, spiritual wisdom, social reform initiatives, and tireless commitment to public welfare.

The meeting was chaired by former minister Priya Sethi, and attended by programme co-convenors BJP Mahila Morcha President Sanjita Dogra, Amar Singh, Adv. Neha Mahajan, & Reema Padha, District Presidents Adv. Rajesh Gupta, & Naresh Singh Jasrotia, as well as Mandal Presidents and other senior party functionaries.

During the meeting, detailed discussions were held regarding the structure, content, and outreach of the proposed programmes. These events are scheduled to be organized across various levels, with active involvement of the civil society, women, youth, and cultural organizations.

While addressing the meeting, Priya Sethi described Ahilyabai Holkar as a timeless symbol of good governance, compassion, and justice. “Her reign is remembered for its administrative excellence, peaceful coexistence, and significant contributions to infrastructure, including the renovation and construction of temples, dharamshalas, and water bodies across India,” Sethi said.

She added that Ahilyabai’s leadership was rooted in Indian cultural values, and her ideals of justice, inclusivity, and development continue to serve as guiding principles for modern governance. “The upcoming programmes aim to educate party workers and the general public about these enduring values, which also resonate with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has consistently emphasized Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas.”

Sethi further emphasized the importance of connecting today’s youth with such historical icons whose work laid the foundation for an equitable and harmonious society. “It is crucial that we draw inspiration from such towering personalities and integrate their legacy into our current socio-political framework,” she concluded.

The BJP leadership reaffirmed its commitment to organizing meaningful and inclusive programmes that pay tribute to the legacy of Ahilyabai Holkar while instilling a spirit of service, pride, and cultural awareness among the masses.
