The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has started screening of candidates for the two high-stakes Lok Sabha seats — Jammu and Udhampur.
Sources informed that while a rival camp is trying to spread information that a new face would be introduced from Udhampur seat, “Jitendra Singh is most likely to be the face of the party from the seat because of his performance and huge victory margin over the Congress candidate in 2019 Lok Sabha polls”, a senior BJP leader informed.
Moreover, Jitendra Singh has maintained constant touch with the people of his constituency where many developmental projects have been completed.
The saffron party is likely to field a Dogra Brahmin face from Jammu seat and a Rajput face will continue to be the choice for the Udhampur constituency.
