Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said the results of the upcoming elections to four Rajya Sabha seats in the Union Territory will indicate which political parties support or oppose the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Reported PTI, the biennial elections to fill the seats, vacant since 2021, are scheduled for October 24.
“This election will reveal who is a supporter of the BJP and who is an opponent of the BJP. Not a single party has shown support to the BJP over the last one year, and on its own, it cannot win even one seat,” Abdullah told reporters here. He added that if the BJP manages to win any seat, it would be due to “money power, muscle power and power of the agencies.” |
