They informed that BJP intends to take people of Jammu and Kashmir on board in its endeavour to make this State enter a new era of development, peace and progress.
Kohli during interaction informed that  National President Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have special place for people of J&K in their hearts which is why they intend to take everyone on board and make this State self reliant. BJP, he said is people’s party and has nothing to do with dirty politics which is why it intends to make people of  Kashmir their partners in peace and progress wherein they can write their own fate.
The visiting leaders also met members of Gujjar community in Kupwara and said that they have played a commendable role in development of the State. Seeking their support in strengthening party at all levels, Kohli said BJP-PDP Coalition Government in the State and NDA Government at the Centre are working to the satisfaction of people without any allegation of corruption which is their strength.
He while apprising members of Gujjar community about various schemes of Union Government said that this is for the first time in Indian history that a Government is coming up to expectations of people and is away from corrupt practices. This, he said is strength of Modi Government and is also being replicated in J&K State. He asked them to take benefits of schemes like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, better health, education facilities and skill development initiatives.
Yudhvir Sethi, while talking to party functionaries said associating with this kind of dispensation and extending their whole hearted support will further strengthen BJP and make it victorious in next general elections scheduled for 2019 in J&K State.
