Srinagar: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday announced its candidates for the upcoming Assembly by-elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to a statement issued by the party, the BJP’s Central Election Committee has approved the candidature of Aga Syed Mohsin for the Budgam constituency (No. 27) and Devyani Rana for the Nagrota constituency (No. 77).
The Election Commission of India earlier this week announced that by-elections for Budgam and Nagrota assembly seats in Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory would be held on November 11.
The bypolls to the two Assembly seats were necessitated after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah vacated Budgam seat and retained Ganderbal seat.
He had contested two seats in last year’s Assembly election and won both the seats.
The Nagrota seat fell vacant after the sitting BJP MLA Devender Singh Rana died last year.
