The Sunday Guardian
|August 25, 2024
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to release its first list of candidates for the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections on Sunday, August 25, 2024.
The announcement will follow a Central Election Committee (CEC) meeting at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, chaired by National President JP Nadda and attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other CEC members.
Union Minister of Coal and Mines, also the BJP in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir, informed The Sunday Guardian that the party is prepared for the elections and will announce the first list of candidates post-CEC meeting. He emphasised that, unlike Congress, which has allied with the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC), the BJP will contest independently and has no plans for a post-poll alliance. The BJP is confident in winning and forming the government solo.
