The BJP has always believed in keeping national interests above party interests and this culture has ensured its national leader’s support to it, he added.
Referring to the State, Khanna said that recent developments have proved to be turning point for the BJP. BJP played a crucial and positive role in taking on anti national elements responsible for Kishtwar and Rajouri episodes. It was because of the party’s tough stand that MoS Home had to resign. Besides party fought to seek justice for Rajnesh Sharma a Jammu boy killed in Ram Munshi Bagh Police Station Srinagar.
Jugal Kishore Sharma, in his address, while appreciating the efforts and work of party’s rank and file, stated that the challenges facing the party are daunting which need sustained and intensive efforts. He added that the people are fed up with the utter corrupt culture of Congress’ UPA and state coalition and have developed healthy regard for BJP. This is to be converted into electoral gains. The people are of the considered view that only BJP is the desired alternative. He also drew attention towards the soft approach policy on Pakistan, price rise, unemployment and mis-governance.
Ashok Khajuria briefed the meeting about the just concluded Assembly session and said that Valley -centric Government gagged the opposition and instead of utilising the session for positive proceedings, digressed into sterile issue of General VK Singh’s utterance and maligning the security forces with Congress’ full backing.
The proceedings of the meeting were conducted by State general secretary, Rajiv Jasrotia while Kavinder Gupta presented vote of thanks.
