The APUM congratulated the Congress leadership for the landslide victory and effectively countering and defeating the opportunist agenda of BJP, starting from Bharat Jodo Yatra, till culmination of elections. The BJP attempt to polarize the atmosphere and hijack the elections, were defeated by the people of Karnataka, who have shown the way forward to the countrymen for the forth coming general elections.
The meeting felt that BJP is delaying Assembly elections in the JKUT because the party sees the writings on the wall, as BJP will face a humiliating defeat in J&K as and when elections are held. The people are totally fed up with the policies and programmes of BJP and has left the people at the mercy of irresponsible and non-responsive bureaucratic regime with the resources of J&K opened for the loot of outsiders while locals are without jobs and business prospects. The unemployment is on the peak in J&K. The people are being heavily taxed while the price rise is on the peak.
The people of J&K want early elections to the state assembly under statehood, for which the opposition parties shall unitedly fight and struggle for restoration of democracy.
