JAMMU, Nov 6: Claiming that there was no Modi wave in Jammu and Kashmir, the National Panthers Party founder Prof Bhim Singh today alleged Rs 570 crore deal between Bharatiya Janata Party and National Conference for a secret alliance in Assembly polls.
“A deal of Rs 570 crores has taken place between the two parties for grabbing power in Jammu and Kashmir by befooling the general masses,” he said while talking to media persons, here today.
While elaborating, Prof Singh said that Rs 570 crore, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Diwali visit to Kashmir for re-construction of damaged houses in Valley, was actually meant for National Conference and more particularly for Chief Minister Omar Abdullah but not the flood hit people.
“Since there is no State Disaster Response Authority in Jammu and Kashmir, the entire amount of Rs 570 crore announced by the Prime Minister will automatically go into Chief Minister’s kitty and everybody knows that CM fund is exempted from any sort of audit or probe,” Bhim Singh explained.
Replying to a query, the JKNPP leader claimed that the BJP was earlier hobnobbing with Mufti’s PDP but the equations changed with Prime Minister’s visit to Kashmir valley on Diwali and announcement of Rs 570 crore as relief fund.
Reiterating his party’s stand to go alone in the Assembly elections, Prof Singh also announced that JKNPP would also not form any post poll alliance for sharing power with either National Conference or PDP. “Both NC and PDP are anti-Jammu and JKNPP will maintain equidistance from these two parties and also politically fight them tooth and nail,” he asserted.
Prof Singh announced that safeguarding the interests of Jammu people and Dogra identity would be main poll plank of JKNPP. He further said that his party would expose double standards of BJP and its leaders on various issues. “There is no Modi wave, which washed was away in the floods and the people will teach BJP a lesson for its double standards on Article 370, Refugees, Kashmiri migrants and others issues confronting Jammu and Kashmir,” he said and hoped that JKNPP would win sufficient number of seats for emerging as single largest party in the Assembly polls.
