The Bharatiya Janata Party is confident of winning the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections that are scheduled to be held in three phases on 18 September, 25 September, and 1 October 2024.
In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Guardian, Union Minister of Coal and Mines and BJP in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir elec- tion, G. Kishan Reddy, spoke on the party's preparations in a state where Assembly elections are happening for the first time after Article 370 was abrogated.
Q: After a decade, election is scheduled in J&K. What challenges does this present, and how is this election different from previous ones?
A: Contrary to the narrative of elections being held after a decade, two key elections have taken place since the abrogation of Article 370: the Lok Sabha elections and the District Development Councils (DDC) elections.
In the DDC elections, the BJP emerged as the single largest party with 75 wins.
This upcoming election is not merely a democratic exercise but a crucial movement led by the BJP to safeguard the people of Jammu & Kashmir from the return of family-ruled political parties that seek to reinstate Article 370 and perpetuate an unjust regime. Our fight is to protect the crown of India from those who would destabilise it through terrorism and corruption. This election is about preserving the region’s rightful place in the nation’s democratic and progressive framework, ensuring peace, stability, and justice for all.
