In a major boost to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu & Kashmir, more than 300 individuals joined the party today at a grand function held at S1 Church Lane, Srinagar. The joining ceremony was graced by the presence of Ashok Koul, BJP General Secretary (Organization), Jammu & Kashmir.
Among the new entrants were prominent political figures including the District General Secretary of Congress Srinagar and the Central Kashmir Secretary of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP). Their decision to join the BJP reflects the growing confidence of the people of Kashmir in the leadership and vision of the party.
Speaking on the occasion, Ashok Koul welcomed the new members and expressed happiness over the increasing support for the BJP in the Valley.

This is the new Kashmir, where peace, development, and nationalism are taking root.”

The event witnessed enthusiastic participation and was seen as a significant development in the political landscape of Srinagar.
The joining of grassroots leaders from other parties has further strengthened BJP’s presence and organizational structure in the region.
