Yamunanagar, August 29

Suman Bahmani, who recently took voluntary retirement from the post of District Education Officer, joined the BJP in the presence of Haryana Agriculture Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar here on Thursday.

She is likely to stake a claim for a BJP ticket from the reserved Sadhaura Assembly constituency of Yamunanagar district.

According to information, Suman Bahmani joined the BJP along with a large number of supporters at the residence of Kanwar Pal Gujjar in Jagadhri.

Earlier, her husband and the former Director of Ayush Department, Dr Satpal Bahmani, had also joined the BJP.

Gujjar said he was very happy to see Suman Bahmani joining the BJP today.

He said she had been the Principal of Government Adarsh Sanskriti Senior Secondary School, Bilaspur, in Yamunanagar district for 18 years and during her tenure the school touched new heights.

“Before she joined this school, there were only 450 students in the school. When she was promoted to the post of District Education Officer and she left the school when she was Principal, the number of students in this school was more than 4,000,” said Gujjar.

He said after getting promotion to the post of District Education Officer, Suman Bahmani did good work to promote education in Yamunanagar district.

“We hope that she will do good work for the people of the district and the BJP after entering into politics. She will be given full respect in the party,” said Gujjar.
