Ashok Kaul Steps Down as BJP Organisational General Secretary in Jammu and Kashmir
Ashok Kaul, BJP's organisational general secretary in Jammu and Kashmir since 2012, has stepped down, citing age and a desire to pass leadership to younger members. Credited with strengthening the party's presence across the region, Kaul played a key role in expanding grassroots networks and was instrumental in the party's coalition government with the PDP in 2015. BJP leaders have appointed new in-charges for J&K, with further changes expected soon.
