Srinagar, Sep 5: BJP election in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections, Ram Madhav, exuded confidence in the party emerging as the biggest party in the Union Territory.
Ram Madhav accompanied BJP J&K chief Ravinder Raina as he filed a nomination for the upcoming assembly polls. He also expressed confidence in Raina “winning big” in the polls. Ravinder Raina filed a nomination from the Naushera assembly constituency.
“The support and excitement seen ahead of filing the nomination proves that Ravinder Raina is going to win big in the elections. We have faith that the BJP will emerge as the biggest party in the Union Territory. We have fielded strong candidates for all seats. We will win big in Jammu and we’ll be successful in the valley as well,” Ram Madhav said while speaking to reporters in Naushera on Thursday.
Raina exuded confidence and said that there is a strong wave of BJP in the entire J-K.
“Despite being close to the international border, BJP workers of Naushera gathered and carried out this roadshow to file their nomination with full zeal and enthusiasm. I hope that when the voting takes place here, the BJP government will be formed with a huge majority,” Raina said while speaking to reporters.
He accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Congress ally National Conference of insulting the Maharajas of the region and stated that the people of Jammu and Kashmir would give an answer to Congress and their alliance.
“BJP is moving towards a big victory in J-K led by Naushera. Rahul Gandhi and his alliance partner National Conference have always insulted the very respected Maharajas of J-K. The people of J-K will answer to Congress, Rahul Gandhi, and their alliance partner, the National Conference,” the BJP chief said.
Raina earlier held a roadshow in the constituency before filing his nomination.
