BJP can’t suppress people’s voices anymore in J&K: Kharge
“I want to put it on record that BJP can’t suppress the people’s voices anymore in J&K. Congress is also committed to ensure the return of statehood for J&K. Congress is committed to work for the welfare of the people of J&K,” said the Congress President while addressing workers in Srinagar.
He added that efforts are on to forge an alliance in the J&K for the upcoming Assembly elections.
“We want to take the entire opposition along and based on the feedback from our local leaders, efforts are underway to an election alliance in J&K,” the Congress President said.
He said that BJP couldn’t ensure elections in J&K. “BJP announced polls under pressure in the wake of Supreme Court directions,” he said.
He added that the J&K has witnessed unprecedented unemployment.
“Tall claims of BJP that post Article 370, terrorism has been wiped out in J&K, have fallen flat. Infiltration has gone up and terrorism incidents have also witnessed a spike,” he said.
On Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and K.C. Venugopal arrived on a two-day visit to J&K.
Rahul Gandhi is also meeting the National Conference (NC) President Dr Farooq Abdullah to finalise the seat-sharing arrangement between the NC and the Congress for the upcoming Assembly elections.
Three senior Congress leaders will also visit the Jammu division of J&K.
