News of BJP’s history-making conquest in the BMC elections triggered waves of euphoria across Jammu and Kashmir. BJP loyalists turned cities into carnivals of saffron, underscoring the national party’s rising stature in municipal politics.
In a stunning upset, BJP not only retained strongholds but expanded into new territories, clinching a majority that ensures control over Mumbai’s Rs 50,000 crore annual budget. Jammu’s high streets saw dhols beating and tricolors fluttering, while Srinagar’s party faithful hosted victory feasts.
Experts attribute the win to meticulous planning, voter data analytics, and promises of smart city upgrades. The opposition’s fragmented vote helped, but BJP’s narrative on corruption-free administration sealed the deal. In J&K, this is viewed as validation of central leadership’s policies post-Article 370 abrogation.
Community events featured speeches lauding PM Modi’s vision, with RSS affiliates joining the fray. The mood is electric, with plans for replica campaigns in J&K’s urban local bodies. This BMC masterstroke positions BJP as the go-to party for city governance, reverberating joy from Mumbai to the Himalayas.
