BJP, allies admitted defeat by seeking deferment of polls: Congress

Srinagar, Apr 27: Stating that the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) and its “teams” have admitted their defeat by seeking the deferment of elections for Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Vikar Rasool Wani on Saturday said the INDI Alliance will emerge victorious from all the six seats of J&K and Ladakh Union Territories.
Addressing a news conference, Wani said he is confident that the candidates of INDI Alliance will win all the six seats of J&K and Ladakh. “Some parties, who are A B C and D teams of BJP have written to the Elections Commission of India (ECI) and sought deferment of polls for the Anantnag-Rajouri seat. They have already admitted their defeat from the constituency and thus are trying to ensure the deferment of the polls,” he said.
The JKPCC chief further said the people of Kashmir will show their anger against these parties in the elections, adding that the defeat of BJP and its allies is certain.
About the issue of INDI Alliance’s candidate for the Srinagar Parliamentary constituency, Aga Ruhulla, Vikar termed it a rumour. “He (Ruhullah) is a three-time MLA. He is contesting the polls and will win as well,” he said.
Wani also demanded rehabilitation of the victim families, whose houses got damaged in a road sinking incident at the Parnote area in Ramban, saying that 30 houses have been completely damaged while the administration has shifted the families to local panchayat Ghar.
“How can these families live in the local Panchayat ghar? We request the administration to utilise the funds under disaster management and also the district administration should shift the families to other places,” the J&K Congress chief said, adding, “The state land already taken over from the people recently should be identified as provided to these families so that they can start afresh immediately and also restore the essential services,” he added.
