Devender Singh Rana: Voice of Jammu Now Silent

BJP MLA Devender Singh Rana, an influential politician and entrepreneur, passed away at 59. Known as the 'voice of Jammu', he built a multi-crore automobile company and gained prominence in politics. His contributions to the Jammu Declaration and dedication to regional empowerment marked his legacy.

In a solemn turn of events, BJP MLA Devender Singh Rana, an influential figure often referred to as the 'voice of Jammu', passed away late Thursday night. A prominent entrepreneur and politician, Rana died at the age of 59 in a hospital in Faridabad, Haryana, following a brief illness.

Rana's journey is one of remarkable achievement, evolving from an ambitious entrepreneur who founded a successful automobile company to a significant political persona advocating for the Dogra chief minister narrative in Jammu and Kashmir. His contributions significantly shaped the region's political landscape.

Born in Doda district in 1965, Rana was a civil engineer by education, who later ventured into politics, initially with the National Conference and later aligning himself with the BJP. He championed the cause of regional empowerment and worked tirelessly for the community, leaving a lasting impact that will be missed by many.
