Shopian (NVI): People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti today said that BJP is “unnerved” over the PAGD’s decision to contests DDC polls and alleged that the Gupkar alliance candidates are barred from going out for campaigning in southern districts and other parts of Kashmir.
The former J&K chief was visiting Zainapora area of South Kashmir’s Shopian district today to meet a PAGD candidate who is reportedly not allowed to move out of his home for campaigning.
She claimed that this candidate isn’t allowed to campaign and alleged that LG Manoj Sinha and SEC KK Sharma are making false claims that every candidate is allowed to campaign for the DDC polls.
When asked about the purpose of her visit to Zainapora, she said that she wanted to tell people to vote for PAGD and keep BJP away. “PAGD candidates will work hard for the J&K’s identity that was stolen on August 5, 2019,” she said while talking to reporters here.
She further said that BJP will use ammunition to bag seats but people should not allow that and make PAGD candidates win.
“Centre believed that parties like National Conference, PDP, Peoples Conference and CPI(M) won’t participate in DDC polls so that they can ensure the victory of their candidates through backdoor channels,” she remarked.
