The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has dismissed media reports claiming that Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh would be the faces of a women-centric campaign marking 11 years of the Narendra Modi government. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya labeled the reports as “fake news”, stating that the party has no such plans.
Key Developments in BJP’s Clarification
- No Official Endorsement: BJP clarified that neither Colonel Qureshi nor Wing Commander Singh are part of any political campaign.
- Misinterpretation of Statements: BJP Minority Morcha President Jamal Siddiqui had reportedly mentioned highlighting Colonel Qureshi as an example of an empowered Muslim woman, but BJP insists this was misconstrued.
- Operation Sindoor Connection: Both officers gained prominence for leading press briefings on Operation Sindoor, India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
Political Reactions and Future Outlook
While the BJP has categorically denied the claims, political analysts suggest that women-centric narratives remain a key pillar in the party’s electoral strategy. The BJP’s minority wing continues to focus on mobilizing women, encouraging participation in NCC and Agniveer schemes.
