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.
