BJP names Prabharies for Kashmir constituencies in view of Assembly elections

SRINAGAR — As the countdown to the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections begins, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has finalized its list of Prabharies (in-charges) for the Assembly constituencies in the Kashmir region.

As per the news agency Kashmir News Trust, the BJP has appointed Prabharies for constituencies across the Baramulla, Srinagar, and Anantnag parliamentary segments. These appointments come at a time as the BJP seeks to make inroads into a region historically dominated by regional parties like the National Conference (NC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

For the Baramulla parliamentary constituency, key appointments include Gulzar Munshi for the Trehgam constituency, Mumtaz Ahmad Khan for Langate, and Abdul Rehman Lone for Lolab. The BJP has also placed Ghulam Nabi Khan in charge of Kupwara, and Sartaj Majeed has been tasked with overseeing the Karnah constituency.

In the Srinagar parliamentary constituency, Saqib Mir has been nominated as Prabhari for Charar-i-Shareef, while Ghulam Nabi Namtahali has been entrusted with Khansahab. Showkat Raja will oversee Chadoora, and Mohammad Shafi Wani has been appointed as Prabhari for Pampore.

The BJP’s focus on the Anantnag parliamentary constituency is equally significant, with Ghulam Nabi Ganie taking charge of Devsar, Zulfikar for DH Pora, and Mohammad Amin Chack for Kulgam. Riyaz Ahmad Ganie has been named Prabhari for Shopian, and Pinka Malik will manage Anantnag West.

It is in place to mention here that the Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir are slated to be held in three phases starting September 18.
