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.

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”.

Emphasizing the commitment to address the issue of targeted killings, Koul stated, “Our administration will root out those responsible for such incidents and ensure they face justice. We strongly condemn these targeted killings, and the perpetuators of such attacks will soon be eradicated by the administration.”

Regarding the recent tragic incident involving the killing of retired superintendent of police Mohammad Shafi Mir while he was calling for “azaan,” Koul underscored the intolerability of such acts in any religion. “The SP was killed in Baramulla while he was in a mosque calling for azaan. Such an act is condemnable and goes against the principles of any religion,” Koul asserted.

Responding to inquiries about the security situation, Koul noted that while recent attacks have targeted security personnel, individuals from various walks of life have also fallen victim to terrorism. “It’s not just the police being targeted; others have also been victims. However, there has been a recent focus on attacks against police personnel,” he added.

When questioned about the BJP’s prospects in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly polls, Koul expressed optimism, saying, “Our focus is on hard work, and the results will follow. We are confident, based on our track record, that we will secure more than 50 seats out of the 90 in Jammu and Kashmir.”

On the matter of engaging in talks with Pakistan, Koul did not provide a direct response but highlighted the efforts made for friendly relations. He referenced former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s visit to Lahore and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s unconventional journey to meet Nawaz Sharif in Kabul. Despite these efforts, Koul recalled the unfortunate incident of the Pathankot attack occurring shortly after Modi’s return from Pakistan.
