NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Shagun Parihar registered a win in Jammu and Kashmir 's Kishtwar seat. According to the Election Commission, Parihar won by 521 seats by defeating National Conference 's Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo. BJP 's decision to nominate Shagun Parihar as their candidate was a strategic move to garner support from the district's diverse religious demographics.
By selecting a representative who could potentially connect with both the sizeable Muslim population and the smaller Hindu community, the party hoped to make inroads in an area that had been affected by acts of terror in the past. The choice of Parihar was seen as an attempt to bridge the gap between the two religious groups and foster a sense of unity in the face of adversity. The BJP recognised the importance of addressing the concerns of all constituents, regardless of their faith, in order to effectively serve the district and work towards a more harmonious future.
