Jammu, Sept 28: Amidst
the extensive workout for Urban Local Bodies (ULB) elections in the State,
Bharatiya Janata Party, Jammu & Kashmir also sweats out on the issue of
next phase, wherein the state will witness Panchayat elections in a meeting
conducted at party headquarter, Trikuta Nagar.
The meeting was
chaired by BJP State President Ravinder Raina (MLA) which was also duly
addressed by MP (Lok Sabha) Jugal Kishore Sharma and State General Secretary
(Org.) Ashok Kaul.
The meeting was
attended by the senior leaders from the constituencies having Panchayats and
saw the threadbare discussions on all the issues related to the Panchayat Polls
in the region.
Ravinder Raina,
while addressing the meeting, focused that the state has now entered the phase
of continuous elections which will continue for a long period now from now on.
He said that although the process is energy consuming but the BJP worker is too
enthusiastic for the whole set of election phases. He said that it is only due
to the dedicated efforts of the Central and State BJP leadership that has
pressed hard for these elections to strengthen the lowest level of democracy.
He asked them to work hard to achieve the BJP’s target of “Panchayat to
Parliament”.

effective strategy well before the time.
