BJP’s experimental policies pose risk of division, destabilisation: Karra

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Sept 27: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president, Tariq Hameed Karra, today said that Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) “experimental policies” posed a risk of division and destabilisation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a gathering here, Karra emphasised the critical role of north Kashmir’s electorate and pointed to their rejection of the BJP’s agenda in previous elections.
Congress Chief urged the region’s electorate to vote intelligently in the final phase of the assembly polls.
“It is imperative that north Kashmir unites against these divisive forces and the misleading claims of development made by the current Government, which has only hindered the region’s progress,” he said.
Karra underscored the importance of these elections, asserting that they would shape the future of J&K for the next century.
“The entire region is looking to north Kashmir for leadership,” he remarked, referencing the BJP’s unsuccessful attempts to gain direct support in the region during previous elections, including for the District Development Council, Block Development Council, and the Lok Sabha.
Karra encouraged the voters to continue their support for candidates of the Congress-National Conference alliance, which he said would safeguard Jammu and Kashmir’s future.
“The people of J&K have made their choice, favouring alliance candidates in previous phases. Now, it is crucial for north Kashmir to reaffirm this mandate and reject divisive politics,” he emphasised.
