SRINAGAR, Dec 10: Chief Minister and National Conference Working President Omar Abdullah today said the spirited enthusiasm of lakhs of National Conference cadre had sent shockwaves across the country and the historic performance of National Conference in the first three phases of the Assembly Elections in the State had totally unnerved PDP.
Addressing a series of back-to-back public meetings in Sonawar, Srinagar, Omar Abdullah said the decimation of Congress from the State due to the dismal, questionable performance and conduct of its leaders had rendered the Congress’ Hand fractured and this was the reason why Congress leaders were busy in their blame-game.
Addressing public meetings in Faqir Gujri, Shalla Khud, Dhaara, Theed, Harwan, Shalimar, Dalgate, Buchwara, Chatterhama and Burzhama in Sonawar Assembly Segment, Omar Abdullah said the eight decade long history of National Conference spoke louder than any contrarian voices could.
“We have always represented the political aspirations and sentiments of the people of our State and have given thousands of sacrifices to uphold the honour and dignity of our State. We have bled on the flag of Jammu and Kashmir to keep it aloft and we will never allow anyone to cast an eye of doubt on our political strength as a nation. Congress has become bitter and nervous due to its complete decimation from the State and wants to blame others for an inarguably questionable track-record of its own leaders in the State”, he added.
Ridiculing BJP’s failed Mission 44+, Omar Abdullah said “BJP’s Mission 44+ became Mission 4 Minus when despite spending loads of money and despite hiring people to attend their rally they couldn’t muster more than four thousand people. A single National Conference contesting candidate anywhere in the State addresses public meetings thrice the size of what was addressed by the Prime Minister along with more than a dozen contesting candidates of the BJP.”
“The National Conference cadre has given a befitting response to the slander and name-calling of the BJP by yet again emerging as an Army of patriots to stand by the flag, the honour and the identity of Jammu and Kashmir. We have given BJP, PDP and Congress a resounding answer in the first three phases and we will continue to answer their rhetoric by the might of our grassroots support in the remaining two phases as well”, Omar Abdullah said.
Stating that the dignified and effective rehabilitation of the flood victims was his topmost priority, Omar Abdullah said PDP played vengeful and destructive politics during and after the devastating floods and ran to Delhi to ask for elections while the Valley was still submerged.
While PDP foisted elections on the flood victims even before they could get back into their homes, the BJP Government in New Delhi discriminated against the people of Kashmir and left them to the mercy of God. If Prime Minister Modi is allegedly so concerned about Kashmiris, why has the BJP Government in New Delhi chosen to make the people of Kashmir struggle and shiver in the winter chill by deliberately stalling the Relief and Rehabilitation Package submitted by the State Government?, Omar asked.
He said his vision for Sonawar was one of development, job creation, tourism development and world-class infrastructure creation.
