Jammu Kashmir Assembly Election: BJP released the first list of 15 candidates for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. Now the second list has been released by BJP. BJP has given ticket to Chaudhary Roshan Hussain Gujjar from Kokernag seat. Only one candidate has been given ticket in the second list. In this way, names of 16 candidates have been announced so far. Due to the absence of names of some people in the list, suspicion of internal conflict is also being raised.
However, Union Territory BJP President Ravindra Raina dismissed these rumours after the list was released. Ravindra Raina said that new and old people in the party work together. It does not matter whose name has come and whose has not. Some fight and some people fight together. BJP is a family. He said that the party has announced the candidate. The last date for filing nominations for the first phase is August 27. We are in talks with the winning candidates on some seats in Kashmir.
