Farooq calls for defeating BJP, its ‘B, C’ teams in J&K

Srinagar, Apr 08: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Monday called for defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its “B and C teams”.
“Time and again these parties have proved that they hold a tacit understanding with the BJP. With each passing day, our stand is vindicated,” he said while chairing a meeting with the constituency in-charges of the North Kashmir Parliament seat.
However, they all will meet the same fate on the voting dates, Dr Farooq said. “I can sense that people are readying themselves to give the BJP a befitting reply through the ballot.”
During the meeting, discussions encompassed crucial matters concerning the region’s issues and organizational affairs with a key emphasis on strengthening the party for the upcoming Parliamentary elections, the party said in a statement issued here.
Dr Abdullah said there is a “groundswell of anger” against the BJP and this needs to be demonstrated. There is an increasing realisation in the people of Jammu that the BJP has denuded them of their exclusive land, job rights and contracts. “The complete failure of BJP in living up to their promises on development has also badly exposed their double standards,” he said.
The NC chief added, “BJP’s team B teams are now nakedly supporting the saffron 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 the BJP should rather vote directly for it because eventually, these A, B, C and D teams will sell your mandate to the BJP to negotiate power. Every vote cast in favour of these B teams will go to the BJP.”
He said 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.
Among others, Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, Political Advisor to VP Mudassar Shahmiri, Senior leaders Choudhary M. Ramzan, Agha Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, Nazir Ahmad Khan Gurezi, Mir Saifullah, North Zone President Javed Dar, district presidents, In Charge Constituencies, District and Zone functionaries were present in the meeting.
