National General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and party incharge for Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and Ladakh, today said that a new era of development and growth has been ushered in with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi 

Addressing a gathering here he said there is a new environment in the region and the age-old politics of Muftis and Abdullahs is being clearly rejected.

The meeting witnessed the participation of numerous senior party leaders who engaged in extensive discussions regarding the election strategies that would be employed. Various leaders presented their suggestions, which were duly noted for consideration.

Chugh remarked on the political landscape in Kashmir, specifically pointing out the dual politics practiced by parties like the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the National Conference (NC). He underscored the noticeable transformation in the region, citing the operational schools, absence of strike calls disrupting daily life, and uninterrupted internet services as evidence of progress. Chugh highlighted that these improvements are distinct under BJP rule, contrasting with the practices observed during the reign of NC and PDP.

During the proceedings, Tarun Chugh highlighted the party's commitment to garnering votes through the showcasing of its achievements, rather than indulging in politics centered around sensitive issues. He reiterated the party's focus on addressing real causes, as opposed to engaging in divisive rhetoric. Highlighting the developmental initiatives undertaken under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Chugh expressed confidence that these efforts would resonate with the electorate and translate into electoral support.

Chugh also underscored the shift in political discourse following the Supreme Court's verdict on Article 370, stating that parties previously leveraging this issue for political gain are now bereft of such a platform. He urged voters to recall the historical context of events such as the utilization of pellet guns, highlighting the need for accountability.

The meeting was attended by key leaders including J&K BJP General Secretary Sh. Sunil Sharma, district leaders, and other prominent figures, underscoring the significance of the discussions held.
