JAMMU, June 19: “The office-bearers of the State unit of the BJP on June 15 resolved to accomplish Mission 44+ in Jammu & Kashmir and form Government in the State on its own.
This was stated here, today at the party headquarters, Pt. Prem Nath Dogra Bhawan, by State general secretaries Kavinder Gupta and Bali Bhagat while addressing a press conference. The formation of nationalist Government in Jammu & Kashmir is a national requirement.
They said the formation of BJP Government in the State would surely result in its complete political and constitutional integration into India, promotion of sound politics based on democratic and economic issues, elimination of fissiparous tendencies in the State and equal development of all the three regions – Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh”.
More than 50 office-bearers of the party, including party President Jugal Kishore Sharma (MP), J&K In-charge Avinash Rai Khanna (MP), Co-in-charge R.P Singh (MLA), general secretaries Kavinder Gupta, Bali Bhagat and Rajiv Singh Jasrotia, all the MLAs and members of National Executive Committee Ashok Khajuria, Dr Nirmal Singh and Shamsher Singh Manhas, first met at Bhaderwah on June 14 for two hours and then held a day-long meeting on June 15 at Jai to discuss the strategy to accomplish the party’s Mission 44+ and form Government in the state, Gupta and Bhagat said.
There was consensus that the political situation in Jammu & Kashmir is conducive for achieving the Mission 44+, the BJP leaders disclosed, and further said: “the Congress and the NC are in complete disarray. They have lost their sheen and appeal and become thoroughly unpopular owing to their acts of omission and commission, anti-people and anti-democratic policies and their pro-separatist politics and utter failure to deliver on any front. The pro-self-rule PDP, like the Congress and the NC, has also been rejected outright by Jammu and Ladakh”, they added.
