JAMMU: BJP State Secretary Pawan Sharma today launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his repeated attempts to mislead the people of Jammu & Kashmir in the name of statehood. Sharma said that the Bharatiya Janata Party stands unequivocally for peace, progress, and prosperity of every citizen, not for the politics of fear, division, and dynastic survival that the National Conference continues to practice.

“Omar Abdullah and his party are trying to reignite outdated emotional issues to regain their lost relevance. The people of Jammu & Kashmir have rejected the politics of deception and dynasty. The era of entitlement is over — it’s now the era of empowerment under Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Sharma asserted.

He said that instead of acknowledging the massive transformation taking place in J&K — from record infrastructure growth to empowered grassroots democracy and restored peace, Omar Abdullah chooses to peddle frustration and negativity. “The BJP’s focus is on building a new Jammu & Kashmir, one that is peaceful, self-reliant, and corruption-free. Our priority is roads, jobs, education, health, and investment — not hollow slogans that kept J&K backward for decades,” Sharma said.

Referring to the historic abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A, Sharma reminded that the move ended decades of discrimination and separatism, ensuring equality before law for every citizen. “For years, families like Abdullahs exploited so called special status to preserve their power. Today, when every youth of Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing equal opportunity, these dynasts feel threatened by real democracy,” he remarked.

Calling Omar Abdullah’s renewed rhetoric on statehood a “desperate political stunt,” Sharma said the BJP will not allow vested interests to derail the momentum of peace and development. “Those who failed to deliver peace or jobs when in power now pretend to be champions of the people. The public has not forgotten who encouraged separatist tendencies and weakened the nationalist spirit in J&K. BJP’s politics is not of power or privilege — it is of service, sacrifice, and nation-building,” Sharma said firmly.

Reiterating BJP’s inclusive vision, Sharma stated that, “Let there be absolute clarity — BJP stands for the unity, integrity, and holistic development of Jammu & Kashmir within the framework of the Indian Constitution. Under Prime Minister Modi, J&K is marching towards becoming a hub of peace, tourism, investment, and opportunity. No amount of political theatrics by dynastic leaders can stop that journey.”
