Jammu: As the Jammu and Kashmir government dismantled after BJP’s sudden withdrawal of support to the coalition with PDP, BJP is now set to organize a huge public rally to boost and strengthen nationalism in the state. The BJP chief Amit Shah will visit Jammu and Kashmir on June 23rd to pay tributes to BJP ideologue Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and also chalk out the strategy for 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The event will happen at the Parade Ground at around 4 pm. This will happen in connection with the 'Balidan-Divas' of Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, the founder of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh (BJS), had died under mysterious circumstances in the Srinagar jail on June 23, 1953. It is said that during the visit, he will also chalk out the strategy of the party in JK for 2019 elections. The purpose of the tour is to strategise ways to help BJP win 2019 Lok Sabha elections, particularly finding the right formula to capture seats the party lost in 2014, party leaders said. Shah is also expected to discuss matters pertaining to refugees, including PoK and west Pakistan, migrants and border people affected by the shelling from Pakistan.
