Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 24: Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who has crossed all limits to become spokesperson of Pakistan in Kashmir, has earned a new name "Leader of 1905 People". Political pundits have given Mehbooba Mufti this new name because in her home turf Bijbehara out of total 93289 only 1905 had cast their votes on Tuesday.
Social media is flooded with posts in which Mehbooba is suffixed with the title of Leader of 1905 people.
Bijbehara is the assembly constituency from where this self-claimed spokesperson of Pakistan, who never missed any opportunity to demonize people of Jammu, had started her political career. Mehbooba Mufti first elected from Bijbehara as MLA on Congress ticket in 1996 and became Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader at the cost of other senior leaders. Since 1996 Bijbehara is considered as citadel of Mufti family.
Residents of Bijbehara are considered as secular and nationalist so they voted in every election but after Mehbooba became 'spokesperson' of Pakistan, they felt cheated and betrayed.
Mehbooba, who always taunt people of Jammu region by her favourite slogan Dhai Zilay (two and half districts), is now confined only to a leader of 1905 people.
Although she is claiming to the international leader, she could convince only 1905 people to cast their votes in her home turf.
Bijbehara Assembly segment reported highest concentration of polling stations where zero votes were cast.
Among the 65 booths in Anantnag where zero votes were cast, 40 were located in Bijbehara, one of the six Assembly constituencies where voting took place in the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections Tuesday. People cast their votes in 714 polling stations in Anantnag.
Bijbehara, the home constituency of the PDP president Mufti, had 120 polling booths set up for a population of 93,289 people. |
