Jammu, Feb 24: Over a dozen office-bearers of a Jammu and Kashmir-based workers’ union, including its chief, joined the BJP here on Monday.
Members of the All Jammu and Kashmir Labour and Workers Union (AJKLWU) joined the BJP at a function presided over by party general secretary (organisation) Ashok Kaul at its headquarters here.
Kaul welcomed the members of the union into the BJP and said “the party has earned the trust and respect of people across regions and religions”.
The Congress and other certain regional parties have rightfully earned the wrath of the public and they have lost their base quite fast in the whole of J&K, he claimed.
AJKLWU J&K chief Mahjoor Ahmed Khan, vice-president Sabdar Ali Khan, general secretary Abdul Rashid Dar and finance secretary Bashir Ahmed Khan were among those who joined the saffron party.
