Wani said that vote bank of BJP has drastically come down as compared to steep rise of Congress vote bank, as people gave 10 lakh votes in Jammu to Congress Party. The Congress gained a lot in almost all Assembly constituencies in Jammu region including lead in some constituencies indicating that people are ready for change in Assembly elections. He said that Congress will emerge out stronger and largest party in Jammu region for the formation of next Govt with like minded parties.
JKPCC chief congratulated the Central leadership and said that PM Modi and BJP has lost simple majority on their own which is moral defeat of PM Modi, who had given the slogan of `400 Paar and 370 Paar’ for BJP but could not retain its earlier score of 303 seats. People of Ayodhya have given a strong message to the entire nation and BJP has lost ground in UP. Rahul Gandhi has won both seats with huge margin and an ordinary leader of party has won Amethi.
He said Rahul Gandhi has emerged as a strong leader, who is honest and undeterred, as Modi Govt and BJP spent lot of money and energy to tarnish his image for 10 years. He said that restoration of Statehood is our priority followed by early Assembly elections to restore democracy in Jammu and Kashmir at the earliest.
