Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda on Tuesday (August 20) appointed the party's former General Secretary Ram Madhav and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy as election in-charge for the upcoming Jammu & Kashmir Assembly elections, with immediate effect.
The Assembly Elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be held in three phases on September 18, 25 and October 1. The results will be announced on October 4.
A statement to this effect was issued by party national general secretary Arun Singh. "BJP national president JP Nadda has appointed Ram Madhav, former national general secretary, and Union minister G Kishan Reddy as election in-charge for upcoming assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir," it said.
"This appointment comes into effect immediately," the statement said.
Madhav served as BJP national general secretary during 2014-20 period. He was responsible for handling the political affairs of Jammu and Kashmir, Assam and other Northeastern states. In a reshuffle on September 26, 2020, the BJP dropped Madhav and several other general secretaries to bring in new faces in its team.
