Srinagar, Feb 25: Asserting that the alliance of Congress, National Conference (NC) and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) will fight the forthcoming Parliamentary polls in Jammu & Kashmir together, J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief Vikar Rasool Wani on Sunday said talks are underway with regional political parties and “good news” for the people of J&K will “come soon”.
Wani said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), its agencies, and godi-media (sic) employed every effort to break the INDIA alliance and the resolve of its constituents but they failed in this attempt. Today, every party of the alliance is returning to the bloc. In J&K, talks are underway with NC and PDP, and soon you will see there will be good news for the people of Jammu & Kashmir. All three parties will fight Parliamentary polls in J&K together.”
Vikar asserted that only the Congress party can ease the sufferings of the people of Jammu and Kashmir as they have come to know about the “destructions and damages” made by the BJP.
“Only the Congress party has the potential to resolve the issues of the people. Even if anyone can restore Statehood to J&K, it is only Congress,” he said. Wani, who was speaking to reporters in Jammu, said the BJP government left no stone unturned to “harm” the people of the region in one way or the other.
“People are well aware that the Congress party is the one who can safeguard the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, be it protection of land, jobs, etc,” he said, adding, “The Congress party has become popular in the country and it becomes strongest with each passing day.”
The JKPCC chief added, “If anyone can undo smart electricity meters and other burdens, it is only Congress. So it is a humble appeal to the people of J&K to vote for Congress and its alliance partners in the forthcoming Parliamentary elections so that the damage inflicted by BJP in the past several years will come to an end.”
“BJP gave nothing to Jammu & Kashmir except destruction and harm. We want elections to be held here, be it Municipality, Panchayat, or Assembly. If people want it, then they should support the Congress party,” the J&K Congress chief added. (KNS)
