BJP to launch aggressive campaign
The BJP is gearing up for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections with a robust campaign strategy.
Top party leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Union Health Minister JP Nadda, will lead the charge by addressing 10 to 15 rallies across the Union Territory in the coming days.
The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections will be held in three phases on September 18, 25, and October 1, as announced by the Election Commission of India on August 16. The votes will be counted on October 8.
