PM Modi will address a big election rally of BJP in Jammu and Kashmir today
Assembly Election: Here in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Prime Minister Narendra Modi will speak at a sizable BJP campaign event on Saturday.
The massive ‘BJP Sankalp Maha Rally’ is taking place in Jammu city’s M.A. Stadium.
In the third and final round of the Assembly election in the Union Territory, which takes place on October 1, the Prime Minister will campaign for each of the 24 BJP candidates running for Assembly seats in the Jammu division.
At the event will be all of the BJP’s third-phase contenders. The Jammu division’s Samba, Udhampur, Kathua, and Jammu districts are home to these contenders.
Udhampur has four Assembly seats, Kathua has six, Samba has three, and Jammu has eleven.
Today marks PM Modi’s fourth visit to J&K as a BJP campaigner.
On September 14, he spoke at a BJP rally in Doda. On September 19, he gave speeches at two rallies: one in Srinagar city and the other in the town of Mata Vaishno Devi shrine’s base camp, Katra.
To guarantee hassle-free travel for the vast number of people anticipated to attend the demonstration, the traffic department has issued an advice, and authorities have made elaborate security provisions for the Prime Minister’s arrival.
The BJP has always maintained dominance in the Jammu division.
The majority of the party’s 25 seats in the 87-member J&K Legislative Assembly came from the Jammu division in the 2014 elections.
J&K now has 90 Assembly members, with 47 located in the Valley and 43 in the Jammu division, after the redrawing of Assembly constituencies. Nine seats for Scheduled Tribes (ST) and seven seats for Scheduled Castes (SC) are among them for the first time.
Five nominees from the West Pakistani refugee group and the migratory Kashmiri Pandit community will also be included in the Assembly.
Voting will be available to all five of these nominated members when the Union Territory’s government is formed.
West Pakistani refugees and members of the Valmiki Samaj are now eligible to vote in the J&K Assembly elections after the repeal of Article 370. These individuals could only cast ballots in the Lok Sabha elections prior to Article 370’s repeal; they were not eligible to vote in the Assembly elections.
While the Congress and National Conference (NC), the BJP’s opponents, are fighting together in this election, the BJP is fighting alone.
On October 8, the counting of the three stages of the J&K election that were slated for October 1 and occurred on September 18 and September 25 will begin.
