NAGROTA: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu and Kashmir President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma (CA) conducted a series of public meetings and interactions at Seri Pandita, Hazi Mohalla, Baran, and adjoining areas of the Nagrota Assembly Constituency to mobilize support for BJP candidate Devyani Rana in the upcoming bye-election.

During the programmes, Sat Sharma was accompanied by BJP District Prabhari Ayodhya Gupta, Bharat Bhushan Thapa (Retd. Secretary), President Guru Ravi Dass Sabha Dev Raj Angral, Ex Sarpanchs Dharminder Singh and Shankar Singh, and several prominent local leaders including Vaishno Devi, Subhash Verma, Rajat Soodan, Ajeet Singh Langeh, Ex BDC Kuldeep Raj, Hazi Rashid, Hazi Bagh Ali, Parveen Akhtar, Rashid Choudhary, Naseem Khan, Md. Rafeeq, Hazi Mandi, Jamat Ali, Md. Zunus (Panch), Arshad Choudhary, and Nazir Ahmed.

Addressing the enthusiastic gatherings, Sat Sharma said that the people of Nagrota are ready to script a new chapter of development under the BJP’s leadership. He said that under the visionary guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, every region of Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing transformation, from improved road connectivity to enhanced educational and health infrastructure. Nagrota too deserves this pace of progress, he asserted.

Sharma lambasted various political parties for their decades of misrule and empty promises, stating, “For years, parties like NC, PDP, and Congress exploited the sentiments of the people without delivering anything substantial. The BJP, on the other hand, believes in politics of performance, not propaganda. Our commitment is to peace, prosperity, and empowerment of every section of society.”

He appealed to the people to stand with BJP’s candidate Devyani Rana, describing her as a young, dynamic, and dedicated leader committed to the welfare of all communities in Nagrota. “Your vote for BJP is a vote for stability, transparent governance, and real change,” he said. Prominent community representatives and local residents expressed confidence in the BJP’s policies and assured full support in the bye-election, emphasizing that only BJP can ensure lasting development and inclusive growth in Nagrota.
