J&K assembly elections News
JKNC VP Omar Abdullah has left Raj Bhawan after meeting with the Lt. Governor. During the meeting, he formally presented his claim to form the government in J&K, following the support from Congress.
After National Conference gets majority on its own, the party will get an edge in forming the government and choosing the ministerial posts. Congress party has no option but to accept the demands.
During a press conference at the PDP headquarters, Iltija Mufti congratulated the NC on its electoral win and specifically praised Omar Abdullah for his re-election as the legislature party leader.
Addressing the party workers at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "Congress is such a parasitic party that swallows its allies."
Er Rasheed stressed that the restoration of statehood should be the foremost priority for any political party considering governance.
Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP government and Lt Governor of crippling Jammu's economy, which once facilitated a smooth production chain from the Valley to the rest of the country.
Omar Abdullah addressed a shikara rally organized in Srinagar's Dal Lake to support Tanveer Sadiq, the National Conference candidate from Zadibal.
Rahul is scheduled to arrive in the Surankote area of Poonch around 11 a.m. and will address a public rally in support of Congress candidate Shahnawaz Choudhary.
Shah criticized the NC-Congress alliance for promising to release stone pelters and terrorists in their manifesto.
This marks Modi's first rally in the Valley for the ongoing elections, following his previous address to BJP supporters in Jammu's Doda on September 14.
Amit Shah will address three rallies tomorrow (Monday) in Ramban, Kishtwar, and Padder.
Tight security measures have been put in place across the Doda and Kishtwar regions, especially following Friday’s terrorist encounter in Kishtwar.
After taking the plunge, Ajaz told reporters that he's contesting the elections because, like all Kashmiris, he's suffered through "35 years of hardships".
South Kashmir's Pulwama district, notorious for terrorism, stone-pelting, poll boycotts, shutdowns, and protests, is now abuzz with political rallies and election campaigns.
Abdullah argues that the decision is not in the interest of the people of North Kashmir but is instead a tactical move to secure votes in the upcoming elections.
The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections will be held in three phases, with key political parties including Congress and National Conference forming an alliance to contest 90 constituencies, with results expected on October 8.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has said that such adjustment has to be done in any seat-sharing agreement and having a tie-up was "too important to let five or six seats jeopardise the whole thing".
The aim is to ensure that no exit poll results influence voter behavior during the election process.
PDP President Mehbooba Mufti also started her electoral politics from Bijbehara, winning on a Congress ticket.
Mehbooba Mufti announces she will not contest the upcoming J&K assembly elections, criticizing the reduced powers of the assembly and advocating for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's former status.
