BJP’s 10 year rule black era for J&K : Karra

Srinagar, Sep 20: JK PCC President Tariq Hamid Karra today said that the past decade of BJP rule in Jammu and Kashmir has been a dark period in history.

In a statement he said, “ From downgrading our state's status to robbing our people of their rights, the BJP's exploitation has led to soaring unemployment and a surge in terror incidents" .

Karra rejected the BJP's claims made during election rallies, stating that their leaders have no moral authority to make such assertions. "The BJP owes the people of Jammu and Kashmir an apology for their actions over the past 10 years," he emphasised.

Regarding the BJP's "Dilli aur Dil Ki Doori" statement, Karra stated, “There should be no Majboori (compulsion); then Doori (distance) will decrease.' However, if you have electoral Majboori, if you have political Majboori, then claims of decreasing ‘Dilli Se Dil Ki Doori’ are just rhetoric. The people have definitely opted for ‘BJP Se Doori’ in this election. The BJP's claim that the distance between Delhi and Kashmiri hearts has decreased is misleading."

Karra affirmed that the Congress-NC alliance is the voice of the J&K people, and the first phase of polling has shown their support. "The people will continue to vote for the alliance in the upcoming two phases, paving the way for a people's government under the Congress-NC alliance banner on October 8, “ he said.
