Jammu: Claiming that no one is willing to embrace the Congress in the country, Union Minister and BJP leader Anurag Thakur on Sunday said the party has crushed all hopes of its alliance partners to win elections and the result would be no different in Jammu and Kashmir where the maiden district development council (DDC) elections are underway.
Addressing a series of election meetings at Gajansoo and March here in support of the party candidates, he said, The corrupt Gupkar and Congress have forged a cheater-gang to gain power in J-K and the Congress is all set to fail Gupkar in the UT after finishing the rest of the parties in other states of India.
Thakur was referring to the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration, an amalgam of seven mainstream parties including the National Conference and the PDP, seeking the restoration of special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Though the Congress has distanced itself from being a member of the alliance, it is in a seat-sharing agreement with the alliance for the DDC polls.
“The Congress party is the only political party in the country whose focus is not on winning elections but to beat its own allies. In every other state where the Congress leadership has contested the elections, they crushed all hopes of their alliance parties to win those elections,” the BJP leader said.
He claimed that the Congress was now moving from being a B team to a C team , which no one is willing to embrace.
The Congress party and its leaders across the country are not letting go of any opportunity to embarrass the Congress workers by their performance. In Jammu and Kashmir too, they have under the table alliances with the Gupkar and have formed this cheater-gang to gain power in Jammu. The same juggling of Gupkar with the Congress is going to fail it in these DDC elections,” he said.
Thakur claimed that the Congress does not have any internal democracy in its organization setup and questioned how it can claim to defend the democracy? For us, power is only a way to do service, that is why, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP is now the largest political party in the world. The people of the country are no longer seeing the Congress party as any option, he said.
