Meanwhile, the BJP in its working committee meeting in Jammu decided to add 20 per cent more members to its existing nine lakh members across the three regions of the State, top sources in BJP told KNO. They said that Shah will arrive on June 30 in Kashmir, a day before the official commencement of the annual pilgrimage of annual pilgrimage of Amarnath. “He will first visit the cave-shrine of Amarnath in Anantnag district and have the glimpse of holy lingum and later meet the BJP leaders of the State possibly in Srinagar where he is likely to pass certain directions to party men,” a BJP leader told KNO. This will be the first visit of Shah as the home minister. “Though it is not clear whether he will meet BJP leaders, but an informal meeting of Shah with some top BJP leaders is expected soon after he will complete darshan at the cave-shrine,” a BJP leader said. Meanwhile, a significant meeting of BJP’s working committee was held in Jammu that was chaired by party’s J&K president Amit Shah while as the meet was co-chaired by party’s general secretary (organization) Ashok Koul. “It was decided that the membership drive will be launched in all three regions of the State from June 25 that will conclude on August 20. At present party has nine lakh members—4.5 lakh in Jammu, 3.5 in Kashmir and almost one lakh in Ladakh region,” said BJP’s State spokesman Altaf Thakur. He said that it was decided that 20 per cent more members will be added in the fresh membership drive while as top leaders will reach out to people of each and every village of Jammu and Kashmir to explain BJP’s agenda of “Sab Ka Saath, Sak Ka Vikas” to people. “Our agenda is to see Lotus bloom in the upcoming Assembly elections in all three regions of the State,” he said.
