JAMMU: Soon after the results were declared, the Indian National Congress (INC) stated that the party would introspect in its performance. INC has emerged victorious from six seats in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The results in the Jammu region are not up to our expectations and surprisingly against the ground situation, in different parts, for which detailed feedback shall be held with party workers,” said JKPCC Senior Vice President and Chief Spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma.
He said the BJP tried to create a fake and negative narrative in Jammu against the Congress-NC coalition while it hobnobbed with separatist forces in the valley and was desperate to gain power by hook or crook, but people defeated their designs.
It was ready to defeat the mandate of the people through backdoor nominations of five MLAs but failed to succeed in its mission due to a lack of basic numbers to manipulate. He maintained that nominations without recommendations of the new council of ministers would be wrong and against the law.
Congress Spokesperson also expressed gratitude to the people for a decisive mandate in favour of the NC-Congress coalition and to keep the BJP out of power.
Talking to media persons at party, he said hollow claims of BJP regarding Jammu and Kashmir have been exposed by the people, who have given a loud message that they are not satisfied with the policies and actions of BJP for the past ten years.
However, he said that there was large scale resentment against BJP in Jammu region too over record unemployment, price rise, huge taxations of various sorts but the results don’t match ground situation witnessed during campaign also. (KNO)
