In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

JAMMU: J&K BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma CA has said that the overwhelming public appreciation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s governance model has unnerved opposition parties, which are finding it  difficult to counter BJP’s growing popularity, development-oriented policies and expanding public support.

Sat Sharma was addressing an organisational review meeting of Samba district, convened by District President Asha Rani, where he assessed the party’s organisational and political activities, particularly the month-long programmes undertaken under 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'.

Referring to the culmination of the nationwide campaign, organised from September 17 to October 17 to commemorate Modi’s 25 years of leadership, beginning as Gujarat Chief Minister in 2001 and subsequently as Prime Minister, Sat Sharma said that the programmes  received an overwhelming response across Jammu and Kashmir.

He said that BJP workers successfully carried the message of Modi’s pro-nation, pro-people and development-oriented governance to every nook and corner of the Union Territory, strengthening the party’s grassroots connection.

“Modi’s historic 25-year journey represents dedicated public service, transformative governance and commitment to the welfare of every section of society. The enthusiastic response to 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' reflects growing public confidence in his leadership and vision,” Sat Sharma said.

Taking a sharp dig at opposition parties, he said that their political frustration was evident from their continuous attempts to criticise BJP without presenting any credible base.

The massive appreciation of Modi’s governance model has completely unsettled the opposition. Instead of competing through performance and constructive politics, they are relying on misinformation, baseless allegations and political rhetoric.

Referring to the completion of two years of National Conference rule in Jammu and Kashmir, Sat Sharma alleged that the government has failed to fulfil its major electoral promises and was attempting to divert attention from its shortcomings.

People were promised employment, development and better public services, but the gap between promises and performance remains glaring. The NC leadership must explain its failures instead of blaming BJP and the Union Government.

Sat Sharma asserted that BJP would continue exposing the NC government’s failures while strengthening public outreach, organisational activities and grassroots engagement.

The meeting was attended by BJP State Vice President Rashpal Verma, State Secretary Arun Sharma, District General Secretary Rakesh Singh Sambyal, former DDC Chairman Keshav Dutt Sharma, former DDCs Subhash Bhagat and Ramesh Kumar, various Ex Sarpanches other party functionaries.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
