J&K BJP General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul, Lok Sabha MP Jugal Kishore Sharma, and MLA Ch.

From the Dharma Dhwajarohan Utsav in Ayodhya to the 150th birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, and the milestone of 150 years of Vande Mataram, these events reflect the cultural resurgence of Bharat, he said.
