On Monday, the BJP initiated a strategic electoral move by filing nominations for three candidates contesting the Rajya Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir, aiming to secure four available seats.

The nomination papers, filed by BJP's Jammu and Kashmir president Sat Sharma, Ali Mohammad Mir, and Rakesh Mahajan, were submitted before the Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, Manoj Kumar Pandita.

Accompanied by notable figures such as the Union Minister of State in the PMO Jitendra Singh, the BJP candidates are set to face a challenging election, requiring cooperation from non-BJP MLAs in a bid to consolidate power and maximize their electoral gains.
