Meanwhile Jugal Kishore Sharma, the incumbent State President of the BJP has owned the mistake for fielding wrong candidates from both the assembly segments of Udhampur and Nagrota though he defended his brother Nand Kishore Sharma saying, "Who is the best candidate other than Nand Kishore Sharma from the Nagrota assembly segment?"
