URI, NORTH KASHMIR : Claiming that Congress and National Conference (NC) alliance was for safeguarding pluralistic ethos, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today alleged that opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is BJP’s hidden face in the state. However, he said, voting for NC candidates in the current Lok Sabha Elections in Kashmir Valley will be voting to pave the way to make All India Congress Committee Vice President Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister of the country. Mr Abdullah, who is also the Working President of NC, said that PDP leadership is part of a tactical understanding, aimed to bring BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi to power.
“In fact, PDP is the hidden face of BJP and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in Jammu and Kashmir”, Mr Abdullah said and added that BJP wants to implement its anti-Jammu and Kashmir agenda through the PDP leadership, as it did earlier in 2002 during the Chief Ministership of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
Addressing Election rallies and workers meeting here and at Sangrama after casting his vote in Srinagar, Mr Abdullah said the alliance between NC and Congress is aimed at safeguarding the country’s pluralistic ethos and keeping communal and anti-Jammu and Kashmir forces away from the power in New Delhi.
In contrast PDP, for the thirst of power, is in league with communal forces, represented by BJP to help Mr Modi to become the Prime Minister, he alleged. The Chief Minister said that deceptive politics and double faced strategy of PDP for power politics has got unearthed in the current Lok Sabha elections, when PDP fielded its candidates in Jammu and Udhampur constituencies against Congress-NC joint candidates, Madan Lal Sharma and Ghulam Nabi Azad to effect a division in votes and help BJP.
