STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 09 (STC): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced to field candidates for both the Budgam and Nagrota constituencies, where by-elections are scheduled to be held next month.
As already reported, the Budgam seat fell vacant after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah resigned from it and decided to retain the Ganderbal constituency. Nagrota seat fell vacant following the death of senior BJP leader Davendra Raina, who was MLA of this constituency.
Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma said the party would contest both seats with full determination.
“Although we are not very strong in Budgam, we will fight on both seats with full power. The BJP will announce candidates for these constituencies very soon,” Sharma said.
Responding to a question about the PDP’s proposed “anti-bulldozer” bill, Sharma alleged that the bill was aimed at protecting illegal encroachments.
