RS Pura, Sept 27: “There is a huge wave of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Jammu & Kashmir. We are forming government with the immense support of the people and the next Chief Minister will be from our party,” J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina said.
Addressing reporters here, Raina exuded confidence in the party forming the next government in the union territory. He also said that Mehbooba Mufti-led People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) will not be part of that government.
“I thank all the people of Jammu & Kashmir across castes. Mehbooba Mufti will not be part, at least of the BJP government,” he added.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, addressing an election rally in Kathua on Thursday took potshots at National Conference leader Omar Abdullah for contesting from two seats, saying the NC leader is “scared”.
“Omar Abdullah is dreaming of becoming the CM again. Two phases of voting have concluded, and in these two phases, NC and Congress have been wiped out. Omar sahib used to say that he would not fight elections till the time Jammu & Kashmir doesn’t get statehood,” Shah said.
“Then he said he would contest from Ganderbal. Now, he is contesting from two separate seats because he is scared. In the Parliament, I had clearly said that statehood would be restored after elections in Jammu & Kashmir. Rahul baba, you cannot restore statehood as you are in the opposition. It can be done only when the BJP wants,” the BJP leader added.
