• BJP holds meeting of new office bearers in Jammu, emphasizes grassroots connect and national mission

JAMMU: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu & Kashmir, held a meeting of its newly appointed office bearers, including Morcha Presidents and District Presidents, at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

The meeting was chaired by BJP National General Secretary and Prabhari for J&K BJP, Tarun Chugh, who was accompanied by Sat Sharma, President J&K BJP, Sunil Sharma, Leader of Opposition, J&K Assembly, Ashok Koul, General Secretary J&K BJP, and General Secretaries Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria, Anwar Khan, and Gopal Mahajan.

Addressing the meeting, Tarun Chugh extended heartfelt congratulations to the new office bearers, describing their appointments as timely and significant. “Each one of you represents a vital pillar in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat. Your leadership at the grassroots will shape the future of the organization,” he said.

He underlined that being part of the world’s largest political party is not only a matter of pride but a responsibility that demands unwavering commitment. “Jammu & Kashmir is not just another region; it is the strategic soul of India. BJP’s growth here is both a political and national imperative,” Chugh added, urging all leaders to work with discipline, dedication, and a deep connect with the people.

In his presidential address, Sat Sharma congratulated the newly appointed leaders and emphasized that the BJP is a party rooted in discipline and ideology. “We have constituted a focused and dynamic team that reflects the party's core values. Every member must work with a nation-first approach,” he said. Sharma encouraged extensive Pravas (grassroots tours) by all district and Morcha presidents, calling it the “key to organizational success.”

Ashok Koul provided an overview of the organizational structure and responsibilities of the new team. He called for full mobilization of party cadres for upcoming national programmes, particularly the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, which he described as a celebration of India’s pride and unity. Koul also reminded members of the observance of ‘Vibhajan Vibhishika Diwas’ on August 14, commemorating the victims of Partition. Sanjita Dogra conducted the stage proceedings.
