Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Election 2024:
The party has also fielded only one woman candidate, Shagun Parihar, who will contest from Kishtwar.
Three prominent names are missing from the list -- Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina, and former Deputy Chief Ministers Nirmal Singh and Kavinder Gupta.
The BJP released a 'revised' list of 15 candidates for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Election.
This comes after the party withdrew its initial list for amendments as several senior BJP leaders were unhappy with the list.
One Kashmiri Pandit has been nominated from the Kashmir Valley: Vir Saraf from Anantnag East-Shangus, marking a significant outreach to the Pandit community.
15 BJP candidates:
Er. Syed Showkat Gayoor Andrabi Pampore
Arshid Bhat Rajpora
Javed Ahmad Qadri Shopian
Mohd. Rafiq Wani Anantnag West
Advocate Syed Wazahat Anantnag
Sofi Yousuf Srigufwara–Bijbehara
Veer Saraf Shangus–Anantnag East
Tariq Keen Inderwal
Shagun Parihar Kishtwar
Sunil Sharma Padder–Nagseni
Daleep Singh Parihar Bhadarwah
Gajay Singh Rana Doda
Shakti Raj Parihar Doda West
Rakesh Thakur Ramban
Salim Bhat Banihal
Earlier before deleting the list, the party fielded 15 candidates for the first phase (September 18), 10 candidates for the second phase (September 25), and 19 candidates for the third phase (October 1).
That means changes are likely in the list for two other phases of polling as well.
