Koul emphasized that BJP’s commitment to sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas, and sabka prayas must be reflected through sustained engagement, issue-based advocacy, and constructive dialogue with communities across Kashmir.

Koul called upon the Morchas to work in close coordination with district units to strengthen booth-level structures and ensure organizational readiness.

Speaking on the occasion, Anwar Khan highlighted that disciplined organization and proactive leadership at the Morcha level are essential for the party’s long-term growth.
