JAMMU: Devyani Rana, the daughter of deceased BJP veteran Devender Singh Rana, has been appointed as the vice president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) in Jammu and Kashmir.

Her nomination signifies a potential new chapter for the party's youth engagement in the region.

Rana's political journey may soon advance further, as she is poised to contest the byelection for her father's Nagrota constituency seat, which became vacant after his passing.

The announcement was made official by Arun Prabhat, BJYM J&K President, with endorsements from BJP J&K President Sat Sharma and Ashok Koul, General Secretary, at a ceremony attended by several senior leaders, reinforcing the party's support for her candidacy.
