BJP mounts major protest against NC government in Jammu, accuses it of failing on promises
Carrying placards and party flags, the BJP activists gathered at Dogra Chowk, Maheshpura and Panjtirthi before marching separately toward the Civil Secretariat via Shalimar Road
On August 17, 2026, a massive protest took place in Jammu against the National Conference-led government. Hundreds of BJP workers, including party president Sat Sharma, gathered at various locations and marched towards the Civil Secretariat, raising slogans against the government and holding effigies of the ruling party. They accused the NC-Congress alliance of failing to fulfill election promises, particularly in addressing unemployment and developmental issues.
The protestors alleged widespread corruption and poor governance, demanding the Chief Minister's resignation. BJP leaders claimed the government was using the statehood issue as a distraction and promised to escalate the agitation if the government failed to address public concerns.
