"It is the tradition of the BJP to hold such types of meetings with the elected representatives so that the vital public issues are raised forcefully in the assembly," Singh said during the meeting. The BJP had won 29 assembly seats, all from Jammu region, in the assembly elections held last year. However, one of their elected members Devender Singh Rana passed away in October, just two weeks after the formation of the National Conference led government in the Union Territory.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
