Srinagar, Oct 13 : National Conference chief spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq on Tuesday claimed that the BJP had finalised the replacement of the Leader of the Opposition, alleging that discussions within the party had reached a decisive stage.
As far as I know, it has been finalised in BJP circles that the LoP will be removed and someone else will be appointed in his place. He should first save his own seat and then look towards the National Conference,” Sadiq said.
He also questioned the LoP’s performance in the Assembly, saying he had failed to make an impact despite his expectations of him.
“I used to think that the LoP was smart and intelligent, but he has failed in the Assembly as well.Now he has nothing and has reached the point of defeat,” he said.
Sadiq said the LoP had been restless since the Assembly session, alleging that he was facing political uncertainty within his own party.

Referring to protests by students and other groups at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi and elsewhere, Sadiq questioned the BJP’s commitment to democracy and called for fresh elections.
“If they have even a little faith in democracy, the BJP should leave its seats as soon as possible and hold fresh elections in which people vote through ballot papers and not EVMs,” he said.
