As soon as the dates of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections were announced, the activity of political parties has increased.
Strategies are being made to win the assembly elections.
Meanwhile, the BJP has appointed former party general secretary Ram Madhav and Union minister G Kishan Reddy as election in-charges for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections.
BJP National President JP Nadda gave this information on Tuesday by posting on X. It was said that this appointment will come into effect immediately.
Political rhetoric has also started before the elections. BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir unit president Ravinder Raina said that the Congress party is on crutches here.
This has been proved by its failure to win even a single seat in the recent Lok Sabha elections. Raina said that the visit of Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi to Jammu and Kashmir will not change the situation for his party.
Parties like Congress, National Conference and People’s Democratic Party tried to fight against BJP many times, but they could not succeed. He claimed that BJP will contest assembly elections on its own on 70 to 80 seats in Jammu and Kashmir.
security arrangements reviewed
Meanwhile, the Election Commission has issued a notification for the first phase of assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir. A high-level meeting of officials reviewed the security arrangements made for the smooth conduct of the elections. Assembly elections in the Union Territory will be held in three phases.
Voting for the first phase will be held on September 18. Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo held a meeting with top officials of the civil administration and police department to review the security arrangements for the elections. He stressed upon the concerned officials to make strong arrangements by deploying additional companies of CAPF in each district.
