Samba: After the announcement of assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, many BJP leaders are angry about ticket distribution across the state. BJP district president of Samba Kashmira Singh also did not get a ticket. As such, he submitted his resignation to the party on Friday.

On Friday, she gave information in this regard in a press conference in Samba. In the press conference, Kashmira Singh made serious allegations against BJP state president Ravinder Raina and said that he wants to bring Sheikh Abdullah's ideology into the BJP, which old workers like me cannot tolerate.

He said that workers like me nurtured the party with their blood and sweat, but this time Surjit Singh Salathia, who came from National Conference, was made the candidate. Unless Salathia's ticket is withdrawn, he will not return to the party.

Serving the party for 42 years: Kashmira Singh

Kashmira Singh said that when there was no BJP MLA or MP in the state and no one was joining the party, the party was established due to the hard work of workers like me. Kashmira Singh said that she served the party selflessly for 40-42 years.

He said that after 30 years, Samba assembly constituency has been opened for general category. In such a situation, the local worker who has worked hard for the party for years should have been given the ticket.

Giving ticket to a person who was associated with Sheikh Abdullah's party clearly shows that the BJP leadership no longer values ​​hard-working workers. Since 1996, only outsiders have been given tickets

Ticket given to Surjit Singh Salathia

In Samba, outsiders have been given tickets since 1996. Babu Parmanand was given a ticket in 1996. In 2008, Satwant Kaur was made to contest the assembly elections, but she lost.

In 2014, Dr. Devendra Kumar Maniyal was given a ticket after resigning from his job in the health department and now in 2024, Surjit Singh Salathia, who came from NC, has been given a ticket. Kashmira Singh said that one cannot stay in the party in this environment.
