SRINAGAR, Sept 18: National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah<\/a> on Wednesday expressed hope that voters in Jammu and Kashmir would avoid \u201cfragmentation of their votes\u201d, warning that many independent candidates in the Valley were contesting with the aim to divide the ballot.\u201cPeople will have to keep it (a huge number of independent candidates contesting) in mind, because most of these candidates are in Kashmir. It seems it is an attempt to fragment votes and divide people.
\n\u201cI hope the voters will remain cautious of these and avoid fragmentation of their votes in this election,\u201d Abdullah told PTI Videos here.
\nThe NC leader also said he is hopeful that people will vote in favour of the NC-Congress pre-poll alliance.
\n\u201cWe are hoping that vote will be in favour of the candidates of NC-Congress alliance in which a CPI(M) member is also a part of, but it is the voters who will decide. We have tried to take our agenda for J-K for the next five years to the voters, let us see what happens,\u201d he said.
\nThe former chief minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir said the assembly elections, which are being held here after 10 years, are very important.
\n\u201cThe more we talk about the importance of these polls, the less it will be. They are happening after 10 years and a lot has changed in these 10 years. Jammu and Kashmir was divided into two, Ladakh was separated from us, we were granted a UT status even as we fail to understand how it benefitted us.
\n\u201cWe have not forgotten what happened with Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019, so it is a very important election in all respects,\u201d he said.
\nWhen asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s rally here on Thursday would have any impact on the polls, Abdullah said there would not be any such impact in the Kashmir valley.
\n\u201cNothing in Kashmir. It will be a huge thing if the BJP can give a tough fight on a single seat in Kashmir. The election will be incomplete without the PM\u2019s visit to Kashmir, but it will not make a difference on the seats here,\u201d he said.
\nTo a question about Union Home Minister Amit Shah\u2019s remarks that even as NC and PDP have promised restoration of Article 370 in their manifestos, the BJP government at the Centre will not allow that, the NC vice president said many issues do not need the government\u2019s approval.
\n\u201cWe know whose government is there, but why is there a need to threaten us? There are some things which do not need government\u2019s approval, like this election. This election is not taking place because the government wanted to conduct them. Had it been up to them, we will not have got this election.
\n\u201cThis election is taking place because of the Supreme Court\u2019s order. The SC ordered elections to be conducted before September 30 and that is why they are being conducted. If the Centre does not do the other things, then we can have them through the SC,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
