Ahead of the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, BJP has received a big blow. Samba district president Kashmira Singh has resigned from the party. He resigned from BJP after not getting ticket. Along with his resignation, Kashmira has opposed the ticket of Surjit Singh Slathia as the party had given the ticket to Surjit Singh Slathia who came from the National Conference.
In his resignation letter sent to state president Ravinder Raina, Kashmira wrote that he had served the party for 40 years. The journey that started with a polling booth agent reached here (BJP Samba became president). During this period, I got many other responsibilities, which I tried to perform well, but my years of service did not avail. Instead of giving tickets to me, the party gave them tickets, which I always opposed.
