There is lot of enthusiasm among the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists in Kashmir for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s March 7 rally to be held at Bakshi Stadium here. The party workers are in a upbeat mode saying that PM’s visit will boost their morale further during the electioneering season.
This would be the first visit of the PM to Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019. The J&K administration and the BJP have made elaborate preparations to make this programme a success.
The party activists have decorated entire Srinagar city with welcome gates, banners and hoardings to give a tumultuous welcome to PM during his maiden visit of Srinagar especially after the annulling of controversial Articles 370 and 35 A and bifurcation of erstwhile J&K State in Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh.
BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir president Ravinder Raina while talking to media claimed that thousands of people are expected to participate in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Srinagar on March 7.
The BJP leaders and activists of Kashmir have a common view that people of strife torn Valley heaved a sigh of relief after the annulling of Articles 370 and 35 A as they got rid of daily strikes, bandhs and calanders issued by separatist and militant organisations which had hit the common people of Valley hard and putting economy of Kashmir to a grinding halt.
