JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir, BJP president, Sat Sharma (CA), while addressing a series of meetings of prominent activists of the party in Kathua, Jasrota and Hiranagar, said that BJP treats nation first and self-last, which has been its core ideology from day one. Sat Sharma was accompanied by Kathua district Prabhari Munish Sharma, district president Gopal Mahajan, MLAs Bharat Bhushan, Vijay Sharma, Rajiv Jasrotia and other senior leaders.

Sat Sharma said that the BJP has distinguished itself in Indian politics through its unwavering commitment to the philosophy of "Nation First." This core principle underscores every policy, decision, and action undertaken by the party, setting it apart from other political parties.

The BJP's "Nation First" ideology reflects its dedication to prioritizing national interest above partisan politics or individual ambitions. Whether it is safeguarding national security, promoting economic development, or fostering cultural pride, the party places India's unity, sovereignty, and progress at the centre of its governance model. This guiding philosophy has been instrumental in building a stronger, self-reliant India and addressing key challenges faced by the nation.

"While most of the parties promote dynastic politics or regional interests, the BJP's leadership remains firmly committed to the larger national good", Sat said, adding that by putting the nation first, the party has earned the trust of millions of Indians. He said that the BJP's nation-first philosophy is not just a slogan but also a foundational principle that shapes its vision for a prosperous, united, and globally respected India.

He also stressed upon the party activists to put more efforts in completing the ongoing membership drive within the fixed time. Kathua district president and other leaders also handed over thousands of membership forms to Sat Sharma filled through offline mode from the new members.

Meanwhile, Sat Sharma also welcomed dozens of people from different sections of the society into the party fold in a function held at Kathua district BJP office. He, on this occasion, said that the party graph is going up with each passing day and more and more people are getting inclined towards this party.
