BUDGAM, Nov 5: In a massive election rally organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at Bus Stand here, today, Rajya Sabha MP and BJP senior leader, Gulam Ali Khatana campaigned for BJP candidate Mohsin Aga, urging the people to support the party’s vision of peace, progress, and inclusive development.
The rally witnessed a huge turnout of BJP workers, youth, and local residents from across Budgam district.
Addressing the gathering, Khatana said that the people of Kashmir have rejected the over 30 years of bloodshed, deceit, and misrule by the National Conference (NC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Congress, and have embraced the vision of peace, prosperity, and development under Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s leadership. “For over three decades, NC, PDP, and Congress kept Kashmir bleeding for their political benefits. They divided people, destroyed the youth’s future, and stopped progress. Today, the people of Kashmir have awakened. They want peace, jobs, and development, not bullets and slogans,” he said.
Khatana said that the NC is nothing more than a family-run party where opportunities are confined to a few individuals. “Due to this family interference, the marginalised sections of society never get a fair chance – only family members benefit. NC, PDP, and Congress are all family-based parties that have monopolised power and opportunities. For 70 years, these parties discriminated against the people of Budgam. Only the BJP can bring real development and justice to them,” he said,.
Khatana further criticised the NC leadership for betraying the trust of Budgam’s people. “After the Assembly elections, Omar Abdullah resigned from the Budgam Assembly constituency and left the people to their fate. The same party that asked for people’s votes abandoned them soon after victory. This shows how little they care about the welfare of ordinary citizens,” he said.
Highlighting the BJP’s commitment to empowering youth and ensuring inclusive development, Khatana said that the young generation of Kashmir represents the future and must be supported through education, entrepreneurship, and employment. He appealed to the people of Budgam to support BJP candidate Mohsin Aga in the upcoming by-election and strengthen the hands of Prime Minister Modi.
