editor September 7, 2023

SRINAGAR: Farooq Abdullah, president of the National Conference (NC), claimed on Wednesday that the BJP has "lost" political ground and significance in Jammu and Kashmir as a result of its "anti-people policies." Speaking to party officials at the NC headquarters here, he claimed that the BJP is nonexistent in Kashmir and has lost all political clout in the province of Jammu as well. "Due to the BJP's anti-people policies, it has lost political footing and importance in both Jammu and Kashmir provinces. They made a lot of promises to the people of the Jammu province, but they didn't keep them, according to Abdullah.People in the area felt duped by the BJP after it "betrayed" their trust. He claimed that people are suffering as a result of crumbling roads, lengthy power outages, a lack of access to drinkable water, and a severe shortage of teaching staff in schools. The Lok Sabha representative for Srinagar claimed that Jammu and Kashmir has endured various plots and schemes to erode its distinctive culture and history and that the NC will never permit the apologies of sectarian parties' proxies to sow division among the populace in order to further their short-term electoral and political goals.

Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who was selected to join the High-Level Committee (HLC) set up by the Centre, has, however, declined to do so, stating that the panel's "terms of reference have been prepared in a manner to guarantee its conclusions."Government sources claimed that before the committee's members were announced, he gave his approval to join. The committee was established months before elections for five state assemblies and the Lok Sabha the following year.

One nation, one election is not merely a topic of discussion, but also a requirement for India, he declared in November 2020 while speaking to a gathering of presiding officers. Every month there are elections in India, which slows progress. Why should the nation squander so much cash?'One Nation, One Election' may result in simultaneous Lok Sabha and state assembly elections throughout India if it is put into force.
