JAMMU, Oct 6: Shiv Sena (UBT) Jammu-Kashmir unit has expressed apprehension of playing with people’s mandate under the guise of nominated MLAs.
In a press conference held today at the party office, State chief Manish Sahni said that BJP is trying to play with the people’s mandate. He said that misusing the provision of nomination to change the majority or minority situation can prove to be harmful.
Sahni said that according to almost all exit polls, BJP is far from majority, in such a situation BJP is eyeing the five MLAs nominated by the Lieutenant Governor. He demanded the Central Government and the J&K LG to give equal rights to both the regions of Jammu and Kashmir.
Manish Sahni said that under the guise of benefiting the BJP, the gap between the two regions should be avoided from deepening. “With this new arrangement, the J&K Legislative Assembly will have 95 members including five nominated members, making the majority figure to form a government at 48,” he added.
