BJP and JDU have got 101-101 seats. Chirag Paswan’s party has got 29 seats due to which it is believed that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is angry. On the other hand, the party of Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha has got 6 seats each. Not Manjhi but Kushwaha is definitely angry.

While Ghulam Mohammad Mir is from the valley, Rakesh Mahajan and Satpal Sharma represent Jammu region.

Who is Ghulam Mohammad Mir?

Ghulam Mohammad Mir is a prominent political and social face of Jammu and Kashmir. His selection points towards the new strategy of BJP, under which the party is trying to strengthen its hold in the Muslim community.
