Srinagar: With Lok Sabha polls round the corner, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is holding its coordination committee meeting of all sister organizations in Jammu to finalize its strategy.
The two-day meeting is scheduled to begin on December 16 (Saturday) evening and will culminate on December 17 (Sunday) afternoon. Top RSS leaders are expected to brainstorm over the prevailing political situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
The coordination committee (Samanavaya meeting) of RSS will be attended by all sister organizations of the Sangh, including BJP senior leaders. The meeting will also deliberate on the prospects of the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in J&K, sources said.
“As the Supreme Court recently directed the Election Commission to hold early Assembly elections in J&K, the meeting may also deliberate over the issue and seek the opinion of the leaders of all sister organizations on whether the BJP can secure a majority to form the government in J&K on its own,” the source added.
The RSS meeting assumes significance as common people in Jammu seem angry with the BJP on account of the indifferent attitude of the current dispensation.
The party, which won 25 of Jammu’s 37 Assembly seats in 2014 and both Parliament seats in 2014 and 2019 by promising to further the interests of the province, is being accused of giving up on everything it stood for.
“The RSS meeting will discuss the shortcomings, if any and stress will be given to all participants to intensify their activities in overcoming them," sources said.
Besides, the BJP will also hold an office-bearers meeting later to discuss the strategy for the coming Lok Sabha poll, the implementation of various Modi Government schemes and the impact of the Viksit Bharat Yatra.
