Jammu and Kashmir BJP President Sat Sharma, who clinched a Rajya Sabha seat, credited his success to the backing of the party leadership, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Sharma noted that four members from other parties supported his candidature, aligning with their inner convictions.
