Jammu and Kashmir BJP President and newly elected Rajya Sabha Member, Sat Sharma, today stated that the party represents “women empowerment in its truest sense,” delivered not merely as a slogan but as a sustained mission through its policies, programmes, and political representation.
Addressing a meeting of the BJP Mahila Morcha, led by its President Neha Mahajan at the party headquarters, Sharma emphasised that the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, passed in 2023, is a historic step ensuring one-third reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, a testament to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of inclusive governance and equal opportunity.
Sharma said that under the Modi Government, several flagship schemes have transformed the lives of women across the country, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. He highlighted how the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana has provided free LPG connections to rural women; the Jal Jeevan Mission has eased the burden of water collection; and the Swachh Bharat Mission has ensured dignity and safety through the construction of toilets.
He further mentioned that economic empowerment has reached new heights with the Mudra Yojana, under which 68 percent of loans have gone to women, and the Lakhpati Didi initiative has helped over 1.48 crore women earn sustainable incomes. The union Budget 2025-26 further strengthened this mission by introducing special loan schemes for women entrepreneurs up to Rs 2 crore.
Mahila Morcha President Neha Mahajan expressed gratitude to the leadership and reaffirmed her commitment to doing the best possible work for women empowerment, ensuring that every woman in J&K becomes self-reliant, confident, and aware of her rights.
The senior women leaders present articulated the BJP’s unwavering stand for clean politics, inclusive governance, and women-led development, stating that from Beti Bachao Beti Padhao to Mission Shakti, from education to digital safety, the BJP continues to ensure that Nari Shakti remains at the centre of India’s growth story.
