J-K Polls: BJP trying to ‘bury’ Kashmir issue, Article 370; PDP fighting to prevent this, says Mehbooba Mufti

Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Elections 2024: Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti Sunday claimed that the BJP became taking a look to “bury” the Kashmir issue and Article 370 and her People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is fighting the Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls, no longer best for carry out development works contained in the erstwhile state, but also to forestall these alleged plans of the saffron party.

“It be an extended way a matter of shame for the BJP that has been saying the placement has improved, but they could no longer hold elections in J&K contained in the last 10 years. Persons are annoyed, they're suffocating. They want a government to be formed which could address their concerns and end their difficulties,” the PDP chief told reporters in Kulgam in southern Kashmir, on the sidelines of a poll rally.

Mufti asserted that the PDP is really not to any extent further contesting the elections best for constructing drains and lanes, “we are contesting since the BJP desires to bury Kashmir issue and Article 370, and needs every person to speak best about election”.

“But we are adamant that the resolution of Kashmir issue may be reasonably important,” she added.

Asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s jibe at Abdullahs, Muftis and Gandhis, Mufti said, “He had said he'll deposit Rs 15 lakh in people’s accounts, and supply two crore jobs each year. Has he provided two crore jobs? So, what response will I give to what he says,” she said.

The Jammu and Kashmir former chief minister said if her party is elected to power again, it would first undertake a fast-track recruitment for about one lakh government jobs in a transparent manner.

“We're going to make every single day wagers permanent. We also will bring multi-national companies here to give employment opportunities,” she added.
