So far, according to the party insiders,
BJP has enrolled 112000 new members in Kashmir as part of its ongoing
membership drive in Kashmir and it eyes on making three lakh new members
in Kashmir win at one to six Assembly seats from Kashmir in a bid to
stake claim over government formation.
A senior party
functionary told KNO, that the BJP is in a strong position in Leh and
Jammu region while as its primary focus is on Kashmir in the months
ahead with a sole aim of trying to win at least one to six seats. Talking
to reporters, one the occasion of cleanliness drive at the Children’s
hospital, G B Panth, BJP’s State head Ravinder Raina while taking a dig
at the National Conference working president Omar Abdullah, said that
Omar is right that if people won’t vote, BJP will come to power.
“The
fact is that people would vote in the upcoming Assembly polls en-masse
and BJP will emerge as a single largest party. We will have a Chief
Minister of our own and J&K under his leadership will witness a new
era of peace and prosperity,” he said. In
an exclusive chat with the KNO, the BJP J&K chief Raina said that
Omar Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti are trying to mislead people
of Kashmir by creating fear psychosis about arrival of additional
companies.

a peaceful election in the State and more forces were coming for that
purpose only. “Elections will take place soon and BJP will sweep the
polls across the State,” he said.

membership drive that will culminate on August 6. “The party has set the
target of 3 lakh additional members in Kashmir but the way, members are
joining the party, I think, we will cross the target,” a party leader
told KNO.

in a bid to ensure that it wins at least five to six seats in the
upcoming elections. “The party will cross 30 seats in Jammu and win all
four seats from Leh and Kargil and if we win six from Kashmir, we will
simply emerge as the single largest party in the State and will stake
claim on the government formation,” he said.(KNO)
