New Delhi: BJP’s Devyani Rana has emerged victorious in J&K’s Nagrota bypoll, beating Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) president and former education minister Harsh Dev Singh by a margin of over 24,600 votes.
Devyani, who contested for the first time, received over 42,000 votes in a bypoll necessitated by the passing of her father and senior party leader Devender Singh Rana. Runner up Singh polled 17,700 votes, while National Conference leader and sitting District Development Council (DDC) member Shamim Begum came in third with just around 10,800 votes.
Devyani holds an economics degree from the University of California and manages her family’s media and automobile businesses. Show Full Article
