Udhampur :TDD,In a significant political development, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has suspended three of its leaders in response to the growing influence of Pawan Khajuria’s independent candidacy in Udhampur East.

His recent rally drew a massive crowd, prompting the BJP to take swift action against party members supporting his campaign.

This move comes as the BJP attempts to maintain party discipline and control the narrative in the crucial Udhampur East constituency. The suspensions highlight the impact of Khajuria’s independent bid and the challenges faced by the BJP in managing internal dissent during the election season.
