J&K BJP Leader Raina Shares Video with Soldiers in Snow, Opp’n Criticises Him
In a bizarre attempt to boost his image, Jammu and Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ravinder Raina recently posted a video on social media showing him running through snow with security personnel. The video, which was meant to showcase Raina’s bravery and camaraderie with the soldiers, has instead faced severe criticism from opposition leaders who accused him of misusing the security forces.
The video, which was posted just days after a terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, showed Raina dressed in a warm coat and running through the snow-covered terrain with a group of soldiers. The BJP leader captioned the video, saying that he was “with the brave soldiers” and that he was “proud to be in the company of the security forces”.
However, opposition leaders were quick to pounce on Raina’s attempt to gain popularity by sharing a video with soldiers. Shiv Sena-UBT’s Priyanka Chaturvedi reacted to the video, saying, “Security forces can protect borders later, but saving BJP leaders is very important”. Chaturvedi’s statement was a clear indication that the opposition was not impressed with Raina’s attempt to use the security forces for his own publicity.
Raina’s video was also criticized by the National Conference’s Javed Tassaduq, who said that the BJP leader was “trying to gain cheap publicity” by sharing the video. Tassaduq added that Raina’s actions were “a shame” and that he was “using the security forces for his own selfish interests”.
The reaction to Raina’s video was not limited to just opposition leaders. Even some of his own party members were critical of his actions. A senior BJP leader, who wished to remain anonymous, said that Raina’s video was “not needed” and that it was “diverting attention from the real issues facing the state”.
Raina’s video was also seen as a desperate attempt to regain popularity after facing criticism for his handling of the recent Pahalgam terror attack. The attack, which left several people dead and many more injured, was widely condemned by all sections of society. Raina, who was accused of being slow to respond to the attack, had faced severe criticism for his handling of the situation.
The BJP leader’s attempt to share a video with soldiers was also seen as a move to counter the growing criticism of his party’s handling of the Kashmir issue. The BJP, which has been accused of being insensitive to the plight of Kashmiris, has faced severe criticism for its handling of the situation in the state.
Raina’s video was also seen as a move to regain the trust of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who have been disillusioned with the BJP’s handling of the state. The BJP, which has been in power in the state for several years, has faced severe criticism for its handling of the Kashmir issue.
In conclusion, J&K BJP leader Ravinder Raina’s attempt to share a video with soldiers in snow has backfired, with opposition leaders and even some of his own party members criticizing him for misusing the security forces. Raina’s actions were seen as a desperate attempt to regain popularity after facing criticism for his handling of the recent Pahalgam terror attack. The BJP leader’s video was also seen as a move to counter the growing criticism of his party’s handling of the Kashmir issue.
