Ravinder Raina, said that it is a matter of joy and pride for BJP, that the masses of J&K have voted enmass in favour of BJP. The whole BJP family feels grateful to masses for the love and support.
Raina, said that securing a whooping winning margin, BJP and NDA have outperformed all other political parties in the Nation and this is the result of strong leadership of Narendra Modi ji and Amit Shah ji besides every leader and worker of BJP, who have worked dedicatedly securing historic win for the party. Everybody has stood witness to the development that has been seen in every region of Nation with utmost dedication for the continuous 5 years. Foreign policy, defence, Army, other defence forces, zero tolerance for terrorism and befitting replies to hostile neighbour were successful.
Ravinder Raina, said that all the three regions of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh have voted for BJP and today, BJP holds the credit of only political party is J&K that has its footing in every region of the state. BJP has performed exceptionally well, sweeping all the three seats of Jammu & Ladakh while securing good percentage of votes in Kashmir. And for this feast, BJP expresses its gratitude to the voters of J&K and all the leaders, workers and supporters of the party. All BJP workers right from State Office Bearers to District Teams, Mandal Teams, Ward Teams, Booth level workers have worked for success of party.
Raina, said that BJP got near about 50 percent vote share in these elections which is greater than that of earlier Lok Sabha polls and this vote share has been historic since all the elections.

Besides Jammu and Ladakh, BJP has also succeeded to increase its vote share in Kashmir, he said.
Ravinder Raina, while appreciating the Kashmiri Migrant population for their vote towards BJP, also took the issue of cumbersome M-form, which is necessary for Kashmiri migrants living in several parts of India and outside to cast their vote. He said that M-form is basically a “Rider” which was introduced by Kashmir based parties to restrain the community from casting their vote. He said that BJP is committed to take up this issue at every level so that every Kashmiri Migrant is able to cast their vote.
Raina, also thanked the media fraternity for their extremely positive role in whole of the election process and appreciated their professionalism in highlighting the issues, wherever needed, while simultaneously acting as a bridge between the party and the public by taking the schemes and achievements to the public.

While replying to a question on 35-A and 370, Raina said that these were the greatest blunders that have been done “Unconstitutionally to the Constitution of India” and BJP is committed to the early abrogation of these articles. He said that these articles have done injustice to the public of J&K, giving rise to baseless unrest. Due to these articles, near about 100 families have looted all other families of state for decades together. He said that this article was unlawfully inducted temporarily and transitionally into the Constitution and it must be gone now.
In reply to another question, Raina said that the BJP will work to give representation for 24 seats in illegal occupation of Pakistan in state Assembly along with reservation of one-third seats.
