People readying to give BJP, its teams befitting reply through ballot: Dr Farooq Abdullah

Srinagar, Apr 8: National Conference (NC) President Dr Farooq Abdullah today said that people in Jammu and Kashmir are reading to give BJP and its teams a befitting reply through ballot.

According to a press release, he was addressing a meeting with the constituency incharges of the north Kashmir Parliament seat. Discussions encompassed crucial matters concerning the region’s issues and organisational affairs with key emphasis on strengthening the party for the upcoming Parliamentary elections.

Emphasising on defeating the BJP and its B and C teams, Dr Farooq said, “Time and again these parties have proved that they hold a tacit understanding with the BJP. With each passing day our stand is vindicated. However, they all will meet the same fate on the voting dates. I can sense that people are readying themselves to give the BJP a befitting reply through the ballot. There is a groundswell of anger against the BJP and this needs to be demonstrated. There is an increasing realisation in people of Jammu that BJP has denuded them of their exclusive land, job rights and contracts. The complete failure of BJP in living upto their promises on development has also badly exposed their double standards.”

He added that BJP’s team Bs are now openly supporting the party ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. Conspiracies hatched by them to defeat the NC candidates would prove futile. Those who want to vote for BJP should rather vote directly for the BJP, because eventually these A, B, C, D teams will sell your mandate to BJP to negotiate power. Every vote cast in favour of these B teams will go to BJP. People should decide and send a message to Delhi. If the people of Jammu and Kashmir are satisfied with the August 5, 2019, decision, then they should not vote for the National Conference,” he said.
