The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to hold a significant legislative party meeting today at 1:30 PM in Church Lane Sonwar, Srinagar. This gathering will include senior leadership and all 28 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) from the party.
The meeting is pivotal for strategizing ahead of the upcoming Assembly session, which is scheduled to begin tomorrow at the Assembly complex in Srinagar. Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Prahlad Joshi, alongside BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh—who oversees Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh—has been appointed as national observers for the meeting.
“This meeting will finalize the party’s strategy for the upcoming Assembly session, with an announcement regarding the Leader of the Opposition expected shortly afterward,” stated senior BJP leader Tarun Chugh told KNS.
Sources indicate that MLA Sunil Sharma from the Padder-Nagseni Constituency is anticipated to be elected as the new Leader of the Opposition.
Following the recent passing of Devender Rana, the MLA from Nagrota, the BJP’s legislative strength has decreased from 29 to 28 members.
The party aims to present a united front during the session, concentrating on key issues and reinforcing its position as the primary opposition.
Meanwhile, Congress has called a legislative party meeting today at 5:00 PM at the party headquarters in Srinagar to finalize the strategy for the upcoming Assembly session.(KNS).
