Jammu, Oct 25: BJP winning a Rajya Sabha seat from Jammu and Kashmir vindicated \u201cvote chori\u201d charges against the party, Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary alleged on Saturday.
\nAmid a blame game over \u201ccross-voting\u201d in the election for one Rajya Sabha seat among non-BJP parties in J-K, Choudhary said the National Conference (NC) would prefer to leave the government than ally with the BJP.
\nOn Friday, the ruling NC won three seats, while the BJP managed to win the fourth seat in the first Rajya Sabha elections held in Jammu and Kashmir after it became a Union territory in 2019.
\n\u201cWe used to hear that the BJP buys and steals votes but the people in Jammu and Kashmir did not believe it. But it has been proven this time that the BJP is really involved in vote chori.
\n\u201cI will not say how they did it, whether money was involved or not but whatever happened, they managed some votes,\u201d the deputy chief minister told reporters in Udhampur district.
\nOpposition parties, mainly the Congress, have been alleging that the BJP and the Election Commission have colluded to \u201csteal votes\u201d to win elections.
\nChoudhary, who is scheduled to join NC candidate Shamim Begum in campaigning for the Nagrota bypolls, said the BJP only had 28 members but their candidate got 32 votes. \u201cFrom where did they get the four extra votes?\u201d \u201cThis lollipop party teaches us a lesson about decency and principles but they should learn the lesson of decency and principles from us,\u201d he said.
\nChaudhary said the NC has not exchanged votes for money or made any other promise and asserted that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has been saying from the beginning that the BJP was going to indulge in horse-trading. \u201cThey have done horse trading, which is now proven,\u201d he said.
\nNone of the NC legislators cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha elections in favour of the BJP candidate, he said.
\n\u201cWe can leave the government, but we will not ally with the BJP. We were supposed to win all four seats, but we lost one seat because of some traitors who betrayed us after assuring their support,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cWe basically gave this (fourth Rajya Sabha) seat to Congress but it did not fight and we had to field our candidate at the last moment,\u201d he added.
\nHe said he is not scared of speaking the truth and will continue to raise his voice against the BJP. \u201cIf I had a tie-up with the BJP, I would not have spoken the truth, my security would not have been downgraded. We will continue to work as the voice of the people.\u201d Choudhary said those blaming NC for the loss of the fourth RS seat are doing it to \u201ccover their actions\u201d from the public. \u201cWhat does abstain mean? It means to help the BJP. They are hand-in-glove with the BJP,\u201d he said in an apparent reference to Peoples Conference leader Sajad Gani Lone.
\nLone has accused the ruling NC of \u201cgifting\u201d seven votes to the BJP to ensure the saffron party\u2019s victory on one seat in the Rajya Sabha polls held on Friday, calling the elections a \u201cfixed match\u201d between the two parties.
\nChoudhary said the NC leaders elected to the Rajya Sabha will become the people\u2019s voice in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
\n\u201cThey will be the voice of the J-K government and the voice of the poor people,\u201d he said, adding the party gave representation to the Sikh community in the Rajya Sabha by fielding Gurwinder Singh Oberoi.
\nThe deputy chief minister added his party will fight the Nagrota bypolls with all its might to win the seat.<\/p>\n
