SRINAGAR: Suhail Bukhari, the former Chief Spokesperson of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), joined the Congress party on Sunday.
This move follows his resignation from the PDP on 20 August.
Bukhari was displeased with the PDP leadership after being denied the mandate to contest the forthcoming elections, prompting his departure from the party.
Bukhari had been hopeful of contesting from the Wagoora-Kreeri segment, but the party’s decision to overlook his candidacy led to his exit.
The Congress party has welcomed his entry, viewing it as a boost to their electoral prospects in Jammu and Kashmir.
His decision to join Congress is expected to influence the political landscape in the region, particularly in the Wagoora-Kreeri constituency, where Bukhari enjoys significant support—(KNO)
