60-year-old Ram Madhav, known for his J&K presence, has been reappointed J&K BJP poll in-charge.

60-year-old RSS leader Ram Madhav, known for helping BJP establish its presence in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and the Northeast, has been appointed J&K poll in-charge by BJP. His reappointment comes after his role in the BJP's first and only stint in power in J&K in 2015. The BJP's electoral influence remains limited to the Jammu region, holding 43 of the 90 seats in the Union territory, and the party hopes that Madhav's return could strengthen its connections in the Valley and possibly help it form a government.
