Srinagar, Oct 05 : Rejecting any possibility of post-poll alliance with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), National Conference (NC) President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Saturday said any party forging an alliance with the saffron party will vanish from the ground.
The NC patron and former chief minister of erstwhile J&K state, said that his party will never forge an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form the next government in Jammu & Kashmir.
As per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Abdullah said that any party that will side with the BJP will “get vanished” in Jammu and Kashmir.
He asserted that there was no question of forging an alliance with the saffron party, saying that people have favoured them by voting against the BJP during the recent assembly elections. “I think the people will not vote in favour of BJP. If the party believes it will form the next government, then they live in a cuckoo’s world,” he added.
Pertinently, the NC spokesman, Imran Nabi Dar in a statement to the media has denied the rumours of party holding back-channel talks with the party outside INDI Alliance, saying that those sensing their impending defeat have resorted to spreading such baseless accusations.
“We urge the public, who have placed their trust in us, to disregard these false claims and not to be swayed by rumour-mongering,” Dar had said.
Furthermore, Dr Farooq didn’t answer a query related to exit polls, saying that “we cannot expect anything as of now, but let the results be declared and decks will be cleared about the performance of the political parties,” he said.
The NC chief said that Congress will also emerge victorious in the Haryana assembly elections, saying that the people who have borne the brunt” of the present dispensation have decided to vote in favour of Congress.
