This special report covers the massive victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party's Devyani Rana in the Nagrota Assembly by-election in Jammu and Kashmir, a seat that fell vacant after the demise of her father, former MLA Devender Singh Rana. Winning by a margin of more than 24,000 votes, the newly elected MLA discusses her priorities, including continuing her father's vision for a model constituency and focusing on restorative work following recent rains. In an exclusive interview, Ms. Rana states, 'I attribute it first and foremost to all the honourable voters, I would say, of the Nagrata constituency who have come out and put a great show of strength, especially when it comes to the voter turnout'.
