NC Faces Another Blow in Jammu as 8 Leaders Join BJP

In yet another blow to the Jammu Kashmir national Conference, eight leaders, including a former minister and an ex-MLA, switched to Bharatiya Janata Party.

On October 19, former minister Prem Sagar Aziz had quit primary membership of the party. In a statement, Aziz said that he was in Congress for four decades and had joined NC because of Devendar Rana. “As I know that he is working for the cause of Jammu, I support his cause unequivocally,” he had said.

“Now that Rana has dissociated himself from the National Conference for the sake of Jammu, I cannot continue in the party and extend my support to Rana,” Prem Sagar had said in a statement.

Other leaders who join BJP include Dharamvir Jamwal (Ex Dy Mayor), Ch Arshad, Som Nath Khajuria, Suchha Singh (Corporator JMC), Ashok Manhas (Corporator JMC). Advocate Mohinder Gupta and Kamal Arora (Ex MLA)

On October 10, Devender Rana, the younger brother of Union Minister Jitendra Singh, had quit National Conference’s primary membership along with Surjit Singh Slathia. The duo joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on October 11.

Rana has been advocating the Jammu Declaration which calls for statehood for the Jammu region and not for the whole JK.
