Ravinder Raina said that the BJP Government under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has effectively reached out to all the sections of society irrespective of their religion and region. He said that the people love and support BJP and we are confident that the Lotus will bloom in both regions (Jammu as well as Kashmir) in the next Assembly polls.
He said that Jammu has been a stronghold of the BJP and he is confident that the Lotus will also bloom across the Valley in the next Assembly polls.
In Jammu & Kashmir, BJP is confident of achieving its target of winning over 50 seats to form the next Government with its own Chief Minister for the first time in the history, he said.
Raina said that there is no one who can fight the BJP in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that the Congress is now finished across the country which is heading towards Congress Mukt Bharat. People have witnessed the rule of the NC and the PDP and they are annoyed with these parties. Dogras, Kashmiris, Paharis, Bakerwals, Gujjars and everyone else is joining the BJP, he said.
Raina said that the BJP stormed back to power in Uttar Pradesh defeating amalgamate of coalition led by the Samajwadi Party and also retained Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa strongly. He said the results in the just-concluded Assembly polls in five states show that people support the policies of the BJP.
He said the Muslims of Deoband in Uttar Pradesh, by voting for the BJP, have broken a myth as people know whom to vote for their welfare. ”Deoband is a religious and political centre and they voted for progress and development. Likewise, I am confident that the people of Jammu and Kashmir will vote for the bright future of their children in the next Assembly polls,” he added.
”If you look at Punjab, where the party contested the election on its own strength, its vote share has increased manifold,” he added.
