In a significant announcement, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has directed BJP leaders in Jammu and Kashmir to gear up for the upcoming Assembly elections, stating that the party will contest on all seats. This statement comes during Shah’s two-day visit to Srinagar, which he has described as “apolitical”
A source privy to the meeting, said that Shah in his opening remarks, stated that he has worked very hard to strengthen the BJP at the grassroots level in every nook and corner of the country. “At the onset, Shah expressed a regret of sorts about BJP not contesting the elections on three crucial Lok Sabha seats but maintained that some battles are not fought to defeat the enemy but to check, strengthen and to reinforce the own cadre,” the source revealed.
He said the Union Home Minister stressed on the rank and file of BJP to ensure dynasty rule of National Conference, PDP and Congress is wiped out and for that “you all must vote against these parties in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls for Baramulla constituency and Anantnag-Rajouri Parliamentary seat on May 13 and May 25.”
