Srinagar, Nov 10 (HS): The Jammu and Kashmir unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is organising a ‘big’ rally in Srinagar in the middle of this month on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
The party said the rally will start from Sher-i-Kashmir Park and conclude at Pratap Park, where it will “expose the lies” being spread by the Congress on “vote chori”.
BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur told reporters here on Tuesday that the Congress was trying to spread a false narrative across the country that votes were being stolen.
“The BJP is holding a rally in Srinagar in the middle of November against this narrative, and more than 10,000 people are expected to attend,” he said.
“The Congress has failed in the country and people have rejected the party,” Thakur said. “We will take out a rally from Sher-i-Kashmir Park on November 15 or 16, which will conclude at Pratap Park. A national-level leader will certainly attend it, and the rally will give the message that the Congress is spreading lies, while the reality is quite the opposite.”
Thakur said anyone whose name has been deleted from the rolls is asked to fill Form 6. According to him, no case has come to light so far in which a genuine voter’s name was deleted. The names removed were either fake or belonged to people who have died, he claimed.
He added that if there is any error anywhere, the people concerned are asked to fill Form 6.
Asked about the reported resentment among some National Conference (NC) members after the Cabinet expansion, Thakur said: “We have said earlier too that all is not well in this house. Autumn has set in this garden and the flowers are withering.” He added: “Even now all is not well. The resentment among the members persists, and none of their demands has been met. This party will surely fall apart.”
