The rally in Srinagar will take place at Sher-e-Kashmir Park, where approximately 30,000 party workers and supporters are expected to attend. The BJP, aiming to strengthen its foothold in the Kashmir Valley, has fielded candidates in 19 out of 47 assembly constituencies, reflecting a strategic approach as it focuses on select seats to make inroads in the region, where it has yet to secure a win.
