JAMMU, Feb 11: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has said that Government deliberately created mess in the elections to the chairpersons and vice chairpersons of DDCs by not inserting the Anti-defection Law and not adopting open voting system like in the Municipal Corporations in Jammu and Kashmir.
JKPCC chief spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma in a press statement here today said that when the open voting system has been introduced in the elections in Sub Committees of Municipal Corporation, why not in this more significant elected bodies. The reasons are obvious and the Congress as well as other opposition parties had already aired their genuine apprehensions in this regard.
Sharma further alleged that the kind of horse trading and use of machinery witnessed in these elections are unprecedented and the Government is fully responsible for this. In many districts, minority was converted into majority and majority into minority, showing a thumb to the mandate of the people.
This has sent a wrong message to the people in the sensitive region and shall have adverse effects in faith of the people in the electoral system and democracy, the JKPCC chief spolkesman maintained.
He said the public is watching and observing everthing minutely. By promoting unhealthy democractic practices and acts by proxy, the BJP is getting exposed day by day. The people of the country will teach a lesson to this party in coming days, Sharma added.
