| Mehbooba rakes up cross voting issue to corner BJP | | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 13: President of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Mehbooba Mufti today raked up infamous cross voting episode of 2011 Legislative Council elections to take on BJP in Jammu city. Mehbooba Mufti, who was addressing a function at Gandhi Nagar in which two Congress leaders joined her party, predicted in the coming Assembly elections in J&K PDP is going to form Government on its own and BJP would be in the opposition.
"Do you want to be with the opposition or with the party which is going to form its own Government in the State?", she asked the people but reminded the Jammuities that they had over-whelming voted in favour of BJP in the 2008 Assembly elections but in the return BJP legislators had only betrayed the people.
She said that it is known to everybody what happened in the 2011 Legislative Council elections when BJP legislators had voted in favour of National Conference and Congress candidates. She even mentioned the 2009 Rajya Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir when some BJP MLAs had reportedly cast their votes in favour of National Conference candidates.
Although PDP president did not directly mentioned names of any BJP leader but recalled that in Rajya Sabha elections some BJP MLAs had voted in favour of Dr Farooq Abdullah due to their proximity with National Conference.
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti raking up cross voting episode attached importance because she has decided to take on BJP in its bastion. BJP, which is claiming to achieve the target of Plus 44 seats in the coming Assembly elections, would be on defence because today's speech of Mehbooba Mufti is clear indication that opponent groups are likely to corner BJP on cross voting episode.
It is widely believed that the "cordial" relation of some BJP leaders with the National Conference is likely to haunt the party in coming Assembly elections. Most of the Congress leaders have already preserved recording of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's speech at Jammu Club in the month of June in which he had exposed BJP's MLAs for bartering Jammu's interests for their only petty personal considerations. |
