BANIHAL, Sept 11: In a fervent campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), senior party leader and Rajya Sabha, Member of Parliament (MP), Gulam Ali Khatana urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir to reject the National Conference (NC)-Congress alliance, accusing it of pushing the region into turmoil in the past.
Speaking at a series of meetings in Levra Chamalwas, Ajnadi, Khari, Amkoot, and Badigam Fagow in Banihal, Ramban, MP Khatana highlighted the importance of continuing the BJP’s journey of peace and progress initiated under Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Khatana called on the masses to support BJP candidates in the upcoming elections, asserting that it is now the responsibility of the people to elect a Government that will continue the region’s development.
He stated, “It is the people of Jammu and Kashmir who must now elect their own Government by voting for BJP candidates to keep the momentum of peace and progress going. Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has brought about tremendous changes in Jammu and Kashmir, and under the dynamic leadership of Home Minister, Amit Shah, the region is transforming into a model of peace and progress for the rest of the country.”
Khatana did not mince words when criticizing the past regimes led by the NC-Congress alliance, accusing them of misgovernance and fostering an environment of violence. “Nobody can undermine the changes that have taken place in J&K under Modi’s leadership. The NC-Congress alliance, which ruled the region for decades, is responsible for terrorism, strikes, stone-pelting, and other issues that plagued the State under their patronage. These dynastic parties pushed Jammu and Kashmir into the depths of chaos, leaving thousands of children orphaned and thousands of women widowed,” he remarked.
Khatana also took a swipe at the internal contradictions within the NC-Congress alliance, calling it an alliance formed out of the lust for power. Referring to former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah contesting from two constituencies, Khatana suggested that this was a sign of the alliance’s fear of losing credibility. “These elections are between the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the NC-Congress alliance.
The fact that Omar Abdullah is contesting from two seats shows the fear within the alliance’’.
Khatana appealed to the people to vote for the BJP and form their own Government, saying, “It is time for the people of Jammu and Kashmir to come together and form their own Government, a Government led by the BJP.
