Mehbooba’s remarks reflect ideological bankruptcy: Chugh

Jammu, Nov 29: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today said that PDP President Mehbooba Mufti’s remarks that the nation’s secular foundation is being undermined reflect her ideological bankruptcy.

According to a press release, Chugh, who is alsoparty In-Charge for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, was addressing a review meeting here. The meeting, chaired by State President Sat Sharma, focused on evaluating the progress of the membership drive and devising strategies to expand its reach to rural and remote areas.

“Her ( Mehbooba’s) comments are detached from reality. No government scheme discriminates against any religion, group, or caste. The nation is witnessing inclusive development that uplifts every section of society, ” Chugh said.

He criticised PDP President for resorting to divisive rhetoric out of frustration due to repeated electoral failures. “The people have rejected her party time and again, Instead of introspection, she spreads venomous propaganda that has no basis in fact,” BJP leader remarked.

Chugh highlighted BJP’s stature as the world’s largest democratic party, boasting over 11.5 crore members nationwide and 2.57 lakh members in Jammu and Kashmir alone. He emphasised the party’s growing influence in the region, noting that BJP secured the highest vote share in the last assembly elections under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He lauded India’s transformation under PM Modi. “India is now the world’s fifth-largest economy, transitioning from one of the most fragile to one of the strongest. Every citizen, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, is reaping the benefits of the government’s inclusive welfare schemes, which reflect the vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,” BJP leader said. He reiterated the government’s firm stance on terrorism, asserting that “Pakistan-sponsored terrorism will be eradicated entirely under “our Zero Tolerance on Terrorism policy.”

Chugh reaffirmed the BJP’s commitment to building a united and prosperous India, emphasizing that the party’s unparalleled growth and the nation’s progress under PM Modi reflect a shared vision of democracy, development, and inclusivity.
