Addressing press conference at party office here today, Wani said the BJP is not fielding its candidates on all the three seats of Kashmir including Anantnag, as it has no mass base, no cadre there. He claimed that BJP has also lost its support base in Jammu region as well due to its falsehood and anti- people policies. Congress will win both Jammu and Udhampur Lok Sabha seats, he claimed.
JKPCC chief said if INDIA Bloc comes to power, it will restore Statehood to Jammu and Kashmir and also hold Assembly elections without delay besides protecting land and jobs of the locals in the erstwhile state. Moreover, the past practice of ‘Darbar Move’ will also be restored.
Referring to the heavy polling in 4-Udhampur Parliamentary Constituency in the first phase, Wani said it reflects the faith of people in democratic set up and a sign of change.
Congratulating the voters for larger participation in the elections for Udhampur seat, Wani said despite rain and bad weather, most of the areas witnessed heavy polling which is an indication of change. He said people are fed up from BJP and wanted a change. He expressed confidence that Congress would emerge victorious in Jammu and its alliance partner NC from three Lok Sabha seats of Kashmir region.
JKPCC president reiterated that Congress regards every citizen of the state as equal irrespective of religion, caste, creed, sex and the Congress party believes in giving best quality of life to all of them. He said the entire poll campaign of BJP is to cash on the personality of one person whereas, Congress is approaching the voters with the history and achievements of the party which brought the country and the state to present state of development in all aspect of life. Congress will continue doing its utmost with courage and conviction with out indulging in hallow sloganeering, he added.
