 BJP Jammu Kashmir's new faces: 9 leaders who joined from other parties

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Srinagar on Monday to campaign for BJP in the ongoing Jammu and Kashmir's Assembly elections. He was in the J&K capital to woo the people in Muslim majority Valley. PM exhorted voters to get rid of family rule and corruption and promised to bring development to Kashmir.
