Rakesh Pathania's Political Gathering in Nurpur Sparks Comeback Speculation
Former minister and ex-Nurpur MLA Rakesh Pathania held a large political gathering during the Janmashtami festival in Nurpur, drawing significant support from BJP workers and Panchayati Raj representatives. The event highlighted Pathania's influence and sparked speculation about his potential return to electoral politics ahead of next year's Assembly elections. In contrast, a parallel procession by local BJP leaders Ranbir Singh Nika and Rajiv Bhardwaj saw a smaller turnout. Pathania has not yet announced his political plans.
