Jammu September 29 (KNS): BJP is inherently ever-ready for polls in J&K and it is up to the Election Commission (EC) to take final call about holding Assembly polls. Those entities accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of deliberately delaying the elections are simply day dreaming because the BJP leadership in J&K is awaiting for all kinds of political contests to decimate opponents ‘brutally’ as the party is enjoying tremendous support of the electorate whether it is Jammu, Kashmir or any other part of the UT.
This was stated by senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta in his reply to NC leader Omar Abdullah’s remark claiming that the BJP does not want to hold any elections in Jammu and Kashmir as it knows that people will punish them through ballot.
Kavinder said that Omar is living in fool’s paradise because the accomplishments of BJP have changed the scenario not only in Jammu but also in Kashmir as after restoration of normalcy by the BJP Government in centre and end of terrorism the electorate has been galvanized and is standing shoulder to shoulder with the saffron party to teach lesson to dynastic parties which ruined several generations of Kashmiris just to satiate their vested interests.
Kavinder said that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir under the Modi Government has improved a lot over the last few years but it is up to the EC to decide when the election will be conducted. As far as the BJP is concerned, it is always ready for elections whether it is the Panchayat, Assembly or Parliament. He said it was Modi Govt which has strengthened democracy at grass roots level by conducting elections of DDC and BDC. “From 87 selected MLAs, six MPs and three families, Modiji had shifted the democracy to 30,000 elected representatives on ground in J&K,” he added.
The former deputy Chief Minister said that dynastic parties like NC and PDP are showing over enthusiasm as they are daydreaming that the outcome of polls will be in their favour but the reality is contrary and shall puncture their balloons of hopes that they will triumph in elections. He said it is now a matter of time, when they face the reality in the form of forfeiting their bail bonds in their own strong bastions because people today are with PM Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party.(KNS)
