Katra: The second day of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) MLAs Training Workshop witnessed insightful deliberations on leadership, governance, and public outreach, with BJP National President Jagat Prakash Nadda underscoring the imperative for elected representatives to prioritize constituency development and maintain deep connections with citizens.
Addressing the gathering, Nadda highlighted the importance of “Karyakarta Nirman” and urged MLAs to rise above the allure of political posts. Drawing from his own experience as an MLA and Leader of the Opposition, he stressed that “posts are transient, but the trust of the people is enduring.” He advised legislators to proactively engage with communities through platforms like Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Asha workers’ meetings, and parent-teacher interactions in government schools. Nadda further emphasized the need for MLAs to be “good listeners” to effectively resolve public grievances and regularly visit SC/ST communities to ensure inclusive development.
The day commenced with a welcome address by Sat Sharma, BJP President of Jammu & Kashmir, followed by a session on “Panch Nishta and Panch Parivartan” (Five Commitments and Five Transformations) led by Shiv Prakash, National Joint General Secretary (Organization). Rupesh Kumar, Prant Pracharak, delivered lecture on Jammu & Kashmir’s contemporary socio-political landscape and its historical significance in India’s freedom struggle.
