Jammu, July 6 (SocialNews.XYZ) BJP national president Nitin Nabin said on Monday that "like Jammu, the lotus will bloom in Kashmir as well and J&K will have a BJP government in the near future".
Nitin Nabin arrived here on Monday on his two-day maiden visit to J&K as the BJP national president, although this time his schedule does not include a visit to the Valley.
He was given a warm welcome by party workers on his arrival here today as he addressed thousands who had gathered to mark the birth anniversary of Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
The BJP regards Kolkata as the 'Janmbhoomi' of Mookerjee and J&K as his 'Balidaan Bhoomi', since he passed away in J&K after breaking the permit entry rule and was detained in a hut in the Chashma Shahi area of Srinagar city, which had been declared a sub-jail for his detention. He died on June 23, 1953.
Addressing the gathering, the BJP president said the time was not very far when J&K would have a BJP government. “Like Jammu, the lotus will soon bloom in the Valley," he said.
Nitin Nabin recalled what he described as Mookerjee's historic and courageous struggle for the full integration of J&K with India and emphasised that the BJP remains steadfastly committed to the ideals he laid down.
He reminded workers of Mookerjee's sacrifice in 1953, calling it a moral yardstick that continues to guide the party's political and ideological journey.
He linked J&K's future to the broader national aspiration of Viksit Bharat, asserting that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP is committed to inclusive development, empowerment and long-term stability.
He reiterated that J&K is moving towards "a new era of peace, progress and prosperity driven by development initiatives and a renewed focus on governance".
His message to party workers was that unity, discipline and grassroots strength will determine the BJP's next leap forward in J&K.
His remarks set the tone for a politically significant two-day tour that blended ideological reaffirmation, organisational review and symbolic outreach.
His J&K visit coincides with the concluding ceremony of the fortnight-long Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Pakhwada, observed nationwide from June 23 to July 6.
The grand party function at Mishriwala here on Monday, addressed by him, served as the culmination of programmes held from Kolkata to Srinagar to honour Mookerjee's legacy and reaffirm the BJP's historic bond with J&K.
The BJP national president also paid floral tribute to Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
Later, Nitin Nabin held an organisational meeting with office-bearers at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar. This was followed by a Core Group meeting at the Convention Centre on Canal Road to review political developments and organisational functioning.
In the evening, he will visit the historic Raghunath Temple to pay obeisance.
On July 7, the second day of his tour, Nabin will pay obeisance at the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra early in the morning, followed by a tribute to Dogra leader Pandit Prem Nath Dogra at Dogra Chowk.
He will then hold meetings with MPs, MLAs and former elected representatives at Jammu's Convention Centre.
His final engagement will be a Yuva Samwad, which he will address at 3.30 p.m. on Tuesday, aimed at energising the party's young workers. He will conclude his J&K visit on Tuesday evening.
