Srinagar, June 26: Minister of State and Chairperson J&K Waqf Board Dr Darakhshan Andrabi on Monday said the BJP is “not the party for the political families but for common people”.
“Our thrust is always on public service guided by the people’s aspirations and needs. Modiji has ensured that inclusive and equitable development of all in the country is done,” she said while chairing an ‘Intellectuals Meet’ at Sopore.
The event was organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party in connection with the month-long celebrations of the party to highlight the achievements of the nine years of the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Prominent people from different walks of life participated. A very healthy discussion took place in which eminent personalities of the area spoke about the government programmes and schemes and their impact on the life of a common man,” the party said in a statement issued here. Dr Andrabi was accompanied by BJP spokesperson Abhijit Jasrotia.
In her address, Dr Darakhshan said, “The viewpoint of the intellectuals shows us the way as we in BJP believe in public reach out and the feedback of the people guides us in formulating our plans & programmes.”
She thanked the “intellectual” gathering for their valuable suggestions and guidance for future plans of growth and development in J&K. “(PM) Modiji’s popularity is increasing day by day in J&K as he has gifted us peace and has shown us the way forward for a sustainable development in J&K. We are now progressing in tune with the rising India and set very high targets for future,” she said.
“BJP believes in all-time continuous public reach out in contrast to the dynasts who only use the people for their votes and later get busy in their power games,” the Waqf Board chairperson said, adding, “The youth of Kashmir are getting attracted to the BJP in large numbers seeing party’s public welfare approach and the real spirit of democracy within.”
Party’s district president G M Sofi and Ex MLC Surinder Ambardar along with many local BJP leaders were present on the occasion.
