jp-nadda-in-jammu-on-july-5-to-review-poll-planning

BJP national chief and Union minister JP Nadda arrives in J&K tomorrow, July 6.

 

In his first visit to Jammu and Kashmir after the BJP’s third consecutive victory, Nadda  is expected to review the party’s operations.

 

This visit is important as it will involve discussions with senior leadership regarding the party's strategy for the upcoming assembly elections in J&K.

 

"Nadda is arriving in Jammu to assess the party’s functioning and discuss strategies for the upcoming assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir," said J&K BJP chief Ravinder Raina.

 

The Supreme Court had previously directed the Election Commission of India to hold assembly elections in J&K by September 30 this year. The last assembly elections in the region were held in 2014.

 

Upon his arrival, Nadda will address the BJP’s executive meeting starting on July 5, which will be attended by over 2,000 senior party leaders and officials.

The agenda includes reviewing operations, discussing election strategies, and planning future actions related to the elections.

 

Additionally, accompanying Nadda will be J&K election in-charge G. Kishan Reddy, who is expected to announce election-related programmes. "We anticipate the ECI will announce the elections soon," Raina added.

 

The BJP aims to form an independent government in Jammu and Kashmir without alliance partners. However, the unique demographics of the UT may hinder these ambitions.

 

Kashmiri voters are likely to support any party other than the BJP, but the party's stronghold in the Jammu region increases their chances of forming a coalition government with one of the major parties in J&K.

 

Meanwhile, key participants in tomorrow’s meeting include J&K BJP in-charge Tarun Chugh, Co-in-charge Ashish Sood, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh, MP Jugal Kishore, and several senior BJP and RSS leaders.
