DODA: Jammu & Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary (Organization) Ashok Koul chaired an organizational meeting of the Doda District team at the party office, Doda, to review ongoing activities and strategize a robust roadmap for upcoming programmes aimed at further strengthening the party across the region.

He stated that a strong and continuous engagement with the public will further consolidate the party’s base and deepen its connect with the people.

Babu Ram Sharma underlined the consistent efforts being made by the district team to reinforce the party structure at the grassroots. He emphasized that the unwavering bond between party activists and the public is the foundation of BJP’s strength and must be further strengthened through continuous interaction and public outreach.

Shakti Raj Parihar elaborated on the pivotal role of elected representatives in addressing public concerns and ensuring that government schemes and developmental initiatives reach the last mile.
