Srinagar, Oct 30: BJP Jammu and Kashmir spokesman Altaf Thakur on Thursday launched a blistering attack on the National Conference (NC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), alleging that the two parties have once again joined hands in a “fixed match” inside the Assembly.
“People of Jammu and Kashmir should now understand that the NC and PDP are bhai bhai. Their political rivalry is nothing but a stage drama meant to fool the public. When it comes to protecting their personal and political interests, they stand united,” Thakur said in a statement issued here.
He accused the NC leadership of showing “utter disrespect” towards Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, calling him not only a political representative but also a revered religious leader. “Aga Ruhullah has always been respected across communities, but the way NC leadership treated him shows their arrogance and disregard for those who speak the truth,” Thakur said.
Appealing to the people of Budgam, Thakur urged them to reject traditional parties and vote for BJP candidate Aga Mohsin, whom he described as an honest, people-centric leader committed to progress and transparency. “Budgam deserves better. It’s time for real development, not hollow promises. I appeal to the people to give Aga Mohsin a chance and see the change BJP can bring,” he said.
Thakur further said that the upcoming elections will be a “battle between truth and deceit.” “The NC–PDP nexus has kept Budgam and other parts of Kashmir backward for decades. This election is the people’s chance to end that nexus once and for all,” he added.
