Srinagar, Feb 08: Ashok Koul, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary (Organisation), J&K, addressed a VB GRAM G Program held at the Dak Bungalow, Baramulla, where he strongly reaffirmed the Bharatiya Janata Party’s unwavering commitment to grassroots development, public welfare, and inclusive growth under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji.
Mohammad Anwar Khan, BJP General Secretary, Mudasir Wani, Secretary, Ghulam Hassan Dar, District President Baramulla, senior leader M M War, and other leaders also addressed the programme.
Addressing a large gathering comprising BDC Members, Sarpanchs, Ward Members, women representatives, and senior party leaders, Ashok Koul said that the Central Budget is a reflection of the BJP’s pro-people, pro-women and pro-poor ideology, which focuses on empowerment rather than empty slogans. He emphasised that women across India, including Jammu & Kashmir, are receiving unprecedented support through targeted schemes related to self-employment, health, education, housing, and financial inclusion, transforming them into active partners in nation-building.
Criticising the National Conference (NC) government, Ashok Koul stated that the recently announced budget by the NC-led dispensation in J&K has completely failed to justify the trust of the people. “The NC government has neither vision nor commitment. Its budget is nothing but a poor imitation of the Central Government’s budget, copied and pasted without originality, accountability, or concern for real public welfare,” he said. “While the BJP works with a clear roadmap for development, the NC continues to mislead people with hollow promises and recycled policies.”
Koul further said that the BJP’s strength lies in its deep-rooted connection with the grassroots, where elected representatives and citizens actively participate in shaping development priorities. He called upon grassroots representatives to act as ambassadors of Central Government schemes and ensure that benefits reach the last person in society.
Later, Koul addressed an organisational review meeting with the BJP District Baramulla team, senior leaders, and Morcha representatives, stressing discipline, coordination, and people-centric outreach. He urged party workers to intensify booth-level activities, strengthen organisational structure, and remain continuously engaged with public issues to further reinforce BJP’s presence in the district.
Mohammad Anwar Khan said that the BJP is the only party that delivers development with honesty and transparency, adding that the people of J&K have “clearly seen the difference between BJP’s performance-based governance and NC’s politics of deception”.
