NC is totally confused party: Chugh
JAMMU, Sept 1:
Slamming National Conference for advocating dialogue with Pakistan, Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina on Sunday asked it to clarify whether initiating dialogue with the neighbouring country will end terrorism and bloodshed in the Union Territory.
He also played down the protests and resignations by his party leaders and workers over the selection of candidates, saying he is confident the BJP will form the government on its own.
The assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir is scheduled to take place on September 18, 25, and October 1. Votes will be counted on October 8.
“Unfortunately, the NC leaders do not talk about the welfare of the people, the Pakistani gun which brought death and destruction to our land. By advocating for dialogue with Pakistan, they are not doing the right thing,” Raina said.
He said starting a dialogue with Pakistan is the prerogative only of the central government and the foreign minister.
“NC leaders should know that our former PM A B Vajpayee went to Pakistan in a bus to extend the hand of friendship but Pakistan backstabbed India by starting Kargil war. Prime

Minister Narendra Modi also went to Lahore on his return from Afghanistan but the terror attacks and killing of innocents continued,” he said.
Asked about resentment within the party over ticket distribution, he said BJP is like a family and works together like a team.
“When you have 15 lakh registered members in J&K, political activists have their own aspirations but only one name is finalised for each segment.
“We are all together because our party believes in nation first, party second and self last,” he said.
He said Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have turned around the fate of Jammu and Kashmir with restoration of peace, prosperity, and development.
On the launch of video vans, he said every assembly segment will be covered to highlight the achievements of the central government over the past 10 years, especially justice to the deprived sections of the society after abrogation of Article 370.
He assured that his party will resolve the issue of the daily wagers, ad hoc and need-based employees who are demanding their regularisation for decades together.
Meanwhile , Srinagar: The BJP National General Secretary and Incharge of J&K, Tarun Chugh, on Sunday slammed the National Conference (NC) and termed it as a confused party for wayward and continuously changing statements by its leaders including former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and President Farooq Abdullah.
“Whenever there is announcement of award for the most confused leader of the world, Omar Abdullah will get this award,” Chugh said in a sarcastic manner, while talking to reporters here today.
“Sometimes, Omar says he will not contest elections, sometimes he says he will contest,” Chugh said, adding, “Omar sometimes elections will be held and sometimes his father Farooq says he will not contest elections”. This shows how much confused Omar and his father are, Chugh added.
Both Omar and his father Farooq Abdullah, Chugh said, “Sometimes say will bring back Article 370 and 35-A and sometimes they say it may take over 100 years for this”.
They are also confused over their manifesto, Chugh said, adding, “Sometimes they say it is correct and sometimes they say it is not correct”.
Chugh said that people of J&K hate dynastic parties namely NC, PDP and Congress and will teach these parties a lesson in the Assembly elections. “The shops of corruption of these dynastic parties have been closed forever and people of J&K will make sure that these parties do not come to power again,” Chugh said.
Chugh said that people of J&K love Prime Minister Narendra Modi a lot and lot of development has taken place here after Modi became the Prime Minister.
“Article 370 was abrogated to take J&K forward,” Chugh said, adding, “After 5 August 2019 a new chapter of development and peace has been written and people are living a dignified life,” Chugh said.
He said BJP will soon release list of the candidates for remaining phase of elections in J&K.
