Chirag Paswan’s party expands grassroots strategy ahead of Jammu Kashmir polls
Lok Janshakti Party has intensified its political campaign in Jammu and Kashmir, targeting the National Conference-led government over roads, electricity, water supply and unemployment issues. The party announced plans to strengthen its grassroots network across the Union Territory and prepare for the upcoming Assembly elections while projecting Chirag Paswan’s leadership as its larger national vision.
The Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) has launched a fresh political campaign in Jammu and Kashmir, aiming to expand its organisational base and prepare for the upcoming Assembly elections in the Union Territory. The party has targeted the National Conference-led government over issues including poor road connectivity, power shortages, drinking water problems and rising unemployment among youth.
During a meeting of senior party leaders and organisational workers in Srinagar, LJP Jammu and Kashmir President Rafiq Mujtaba and State Vice-President Ashiq Hussain Ganai said the party would now move beyond internal strengthening and begin a wider political outreach across the region.
The party said its focus would be on connecting with common people, especially young voters, farmers and economically weaker sections, while building a strong grassroots structure ahead of future electoral challenges.
The LJP leadership accused the National Conference-led administration of failing to address basic public concerns despite repeated promises.
The party highlighted road infrastructure, electricity availability and drinking water supply as major issues affecting people across Jammu and Kashmir.
LJP leaders said development schemes alone cannot bring change unless there is effective implementation and accountability at the ground level. The party stressed that government welfare programmes must reach the intended beneficiaries, including poor families and farmers.
The party also identified unemployment among young people as one of the biggest challenges facing Jammu and Kashmir and said job creation would remain a central part of its political agenda.
The party announced plans to establish a stronger organisational network across districts, villages, blocks and tehsils of Jammu and Kashmir.
Senior leaders, district representatives, youth wing members and women wing workers participated in the Srinagar meeting and discussed strategies for expanding the party’s presence in different regions.
The LJP said it wants to build a political organisation capable of contesting elections across Jammu and Kashmir and gradually emerge as a major player in the Union Territory’s political landscape.
The party plans to increase its outreach in both Jammu and Kashmir regions by focusing on local issues and public engagement.
While expanding its base in Jammu and Kashmir, the party also highlighted the leadership of Chirag Paswan and his political vision.
LJP leaders said their broader objective is to strengthen the party organisation across different states and Union Territories while carrying forward a development-focused agenda.
The party pointed to its expansion efforts beyond its traditional base and said it aims to create a larger political footprint through organisational growth and public connect programmes.
The mention of Chirag Paswan’s leadership comes as the party attempts to project a younger political image and build support among new voter groups.
The LJP said affordable employment opportunities, better infrastructure, housing facilities and improved public services would be among its main priorities in Jammu and Kashmir.
The party plans to engage directly with local communities to understand their concerns and build its election strategy around regional issues.
LJP leaders said the next few years would be focused on strengthening party structures and preparing workers for electoral battles.
The party believes that a strong grassroots presence will be crucial for challenging established political parties in Jammu and Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed significant political changes in recent years, with parties competing to establish influence among voters after major administrative and political transformations.
The LJP’s latest move signals its attempt to enter the Union Territory’s political space and expand beyond its existing strongholds.
By focusing on everyday issues such as employment, infrastructure and basic services, the party is trying to connect with voters at the local level.
The success of this strategy will depend on how effectively the party builds its organisation and converts public concerns into electoral support.
The LJP is expected to intensify its organisational activities in Jammu and Kashmir in the coming months. The party plans to strengthen district-level units, increase public outreach and prepare workers for future Assembly elections.
With multiple political parties preparing for the electoral battle, Jammu and Kashmir could witness a competitive political environment where development, employment and governance issues are likely to dominate the campaign.
