BJP Strategizes for Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Polls

Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda led a crucial meeting with party leaders of Jammu and Kashmir to finalize candidates for the upcoming assembly polls. Discussions involved several key figures, focusing on the BJP's strategy to counter a resurgent Congress alliance in the region.

In a decisive move ahead of the Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda held extensive discussions with party leaders to narrow down their list of candidates and refine their electoral strategy.

Key participants in the meeting included Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina, Devender Singh Rana, and Union Minister Jitendra Singh, alongside poll in-charges G Kishan Reddy and Ram Madhav, and the party's national general secretary Tarun Chugh.

The Central Election Committee of the BJP is anticipated to convene shortly to finalize its candidates for upcoming elections in both Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. With J-K going to polls in three phases from September 18 to October 1, and vote counting set for October 4, the BJP is ramping up efforts to defend its stronghold against a revitalized Congress-National Conference alliance.
