Addressing a two-day meeting of J&K BJP office-bearers in Srinagar, he said greater engagement with citizens, particularly the younger generation, would help strengthen their participation in the opportunities emerging from the country’s development journey.
The meeting, which began on Sunday, is being held after the constitution of the new team of functionaries at the national level by the BJP’s national president. Besides party affairs, the members will discuss the strategy for the upcoming assembly session in J&K starting from September 21. Meanwhile, the BJP has planned a protest against the National Conference government in Srinagar on September 2.
“Aspirations of Kashmir’s youth represent an important opportunity for the future of J&K. With increasing access to education, professional opportunities and development, the younger generation is looking towards a future defined by growth, achievement and participation. They want to be part of PM’s growth story,” said Singh, who is the minister of state (independent charge) for science and technology and earth sciences.
On the sidelines of the meeting, the leader of the opposition in the J&K assembly Sunil Sharma said, “People had high hopes with the popular government but it has failed on all fronts. We will discuss the issues and how to raise them, and make the government accountable.”
