JAMMU, Aug 25: Shiv Sena J&K unit has stated that for the sake of power, BJP has put the identity and culture of J&K at stake and this is reflected from the recent decision of J&K Election Commission to give voting rights to outsiders.
Addressing a press conference here today Manish Sahni, president Shiv Sena J&K said that BJP is well aware of the growing discontent among people with its anti-people policies, due to which it is trying to capture power by taking help of non-local people.
He said that voting rights to PoJK refugees, Balmikis, Gorkha Samaj and domicile holders is a good step and their number cannot be 25 lakh.
“The Election Commission should clarify that what criteria have been fixed to give voting rights to outsiders,” Sahni maintained adding: “BJP is now planning victory through outsider voters in the upcoming elections of Legislative Assembly.”
He said that BJP has made J&K a testing laboratory but the people of J&K have made mind to teach BJP a lesson in forthcoming elections.
Shiv Sena women wing president, Meenakshi Chibber; general secretary, Vikas Bakshi; chairman, Rakesh Gupta and others were also present in the press conference.
