In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

JAMMU: Union minister and J&K Election in-charge, G. Kishan Reddy, on Sunday said that this is the historic time when Jammu will take lead and decide next government in J&K. He said that for the first time, the BJP is poised to form a government on its own in Jammu and Kashmir, and the people of Jammu now have the power to decide their own destiny.

This was stated by Reddy, while addressing a press conference at BJP media center. BJP's working president Sat Sharma, national spokesperson R.P. Singh, spokesperson & media center in-charge Arun Gupta, spokesperson Girdhari Lal Raina, and media head Dr. Pradeep Mahotra were also present in the press conference.

Reddy said that due to the Modi government’s "zero tolerance" policy, terror incidents have decreased by 98%, and now Jammu and Kashmir is on the path of development and prosperity. Reddy said that Congress, National Conference, and PDP are fooling the people. ā€œThese parties are responsible for terrorism and blood shed in J&K,ā€ Reddy said, adding, ā€œterrorism was the biggest speed breaker in way of developmentā€. 

He described the abrogation of Article 370 as the foundation for Jammu and Kashmir’s development and said that prosperity reigns in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s new Jammu and Kashmir. Reddy appealed to the people of Jammu to vote for the BJP’s symbol, the ā€œLotus,ā€ in the upcoming elections so that a majority BJP government can be formed to make Jammu and Kashmir a developed and self-reliant state.

Continuing his address, G. Kishan Reddy said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an atmosphere of security and peace has been established in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that to eliminate terrorism, stone-pelting, and separatist politics, the Modi government has taken strict measures, leading to a wave of development in Jammu and Kashmir today.

He emphasized that the instability in Jammu and Kashmir so far has been caused by parties like the Congress, National Conference, and PDP, which have betrayed the people for their own familial interests. He noted that there is now an environment in Jammu and Kashmir where the youth are excited about their future.

Instead of picking up stones, children are now picking up laptops and books. He said that Jammu and Kashmir is being developed as an economic power to compete with the Middle East and other states. He also revealed that within the next two years, Jammu and Kashmir will meet all its electricity needs on its own, and by selling surplus power, it will achieve economic strength.

Reddy also said that the central government has empowered financial authority at the Panchayat level in Jammu and Kashmir, and now Panchayats are receiving direct financial aid from the center, promoting village-level development. He said the BJP is the only party working for all regions and communities of Jammu and Kashmir. He urged the people to vote for the BJP in the upcoming elections to continue the journey of development and peace in the state.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
