JAMMU/KASHMIR: Jammu & Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) observed Samarpan Diwas on the Punyatithi (death anniversary) of party ideologue Pt.

J&K BJP President and MP (Rajya Sabha), Sat Sharma CA, paid floral tributes to Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay at New Delhi. Remembering his immense political and ideological contribution, Sat Sharma said that Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay was not merely a political thinker but a visionary who gave Bharatiya politics a value-based direction through the philosophy of Integral Humanism. He said that Pt. Deendayal’s thoughts continue to guide the BJP’s policies and programmes even today.

He emphasized that the political relevance of Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay lies in his people-centric approach, where governance is rooted in ethics, nationalism, and social justice. “From Panchayat to Parliament, BJP’s commitment to the last person standing in the queue reflects Deendayal ji’s vision,” he asserted.

Ashok Koul, General Secretary (Organization), J&K BJP, paid tributes at the party office in Srinagar and highlighted the organizational strength derived from Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay’s ideology. He said that Antyodaya, upliftment of the poorest of the poor is the soul of BJP’s governance model. He stated that welfare schemes aimed at farmers, labourers, women, youth, and marginalized sections are practical manifestations of Deendayal ji’s philosophy, which the Modi-led government has effectively implemented across the nation.

At the BJP Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, the Samarpan Diwas programme was addressed by former Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Nirmal Singh and General Secretary Baldev Singh Billawaria. Dr. Nirmal Singh said that BJP has reached its present pinnacle solely due to its unwavering commitment to the ideology of Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay.

Baldev Singh Billawaria shed light on the inspiring life journey of Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay, describing him as a selfless nationalist who dedicated his entire life to the service of the nation and society, without seeking power or position.
