Politicians need to be pragmatic: Jasrotia

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Nov 28: Spokesperson BJP J&K, Abhijeet Jasrotia has said that those who cried foul are now speechless as the upgraded final list of voters show a total of 83,59771 voters which include 42,91,687 male 40,67,900 female and 184 trans-genders.
He said only 7.72 lakh new voters have been added in the list and those who gave 25 lakh data of new voters and those who played politics on this all are speechless now.
“The moment this misinformation was given opposition was on its toes but no one realized that if the erstwhile State, even in past five decades could not even reach a crore mark, then how is it possible to add 25 lakh voters in five years,” Jastoria stated in a handout.
He said that those who gave this data and those who played cheap politics on it crying demographical changes are now nowhere near ground realities.
“When I question the credibility of such official statements then I also doubt the capability of such leaders who made J&K a banana republic and don’t even know the census of a place where they played politics for decades,” the BJP leader maintained adding: “This shows that all these leaders are in air and dynastical politics have kept such leaders away from ground and people.”
He further said that political bankruptcy is a major challenge for opposition as BJP has left no issue which can make them relevant as ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas’ is a practical slogan.
