Over a month ago, BJP in Lakshadweep appointed Advocate PM Mohammed Salih as the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) State President for the union territory. Salih, a practising advocate and an active participant in political affairs, is expected to spearhead the youth wing's activities in the region.
The BJYM, the youth arm of the BJP, plays a pivotal role in engaging young voters and fostering leadership. With Salih's appointment, the party aims to enhance its outreach initiatives and address local developmental concerns under the youth-centric leadership model.
