Announcement of Rana's candidature hugely overstated NC enacts drama outside Jammu airport 8/18/2014 11:35:54 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 18: A high profile drama was staged today in Jammu when supporters of Devender Singh Rana reached Jammu airport to welcome him after his candidature from Nagrota Assembly segment was announced. Dismayed eyewitnesses questioned the showoff on announcement of mere candidature as a rally including scores of bikes and cars was organised from Jammu airport . Rana is going to contest the upcoming Assembly elections from Nagrota Assembly constituency as his name was cleared by NC parliamentary board on Saturday when they announced candidature of 15 other candidates in the third list of candidates. Though announcement of Rana's candidature was merely a formality as few years back in Sidhra, the provincial president had himself announced that he was going to contest the 2014 Assembly elections from Nagrota. In the deep hole following complete rout at Parliamentary elections, Rana got a reason to smile when his supporters organised a rally in his honour from Jammu airport. On January 15 last year, he was removed from the post of political advisor to Chief Minister and it was seen as setback to him. After his removal, Rana's say in affairs of the government was minimised and to compensate, Omar Abdullah appointed him party provincial president.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
