Omar Abdullah Accuses BJP of MCC Violation, Criticizes Election Commission
National Conference (NC) Vice-President, and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, has leveled serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing them of breaching the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). Abdullah, speaking to the media after filing nomination papers at the Office of the Returning Officer in Baramulla, expressed dismay over the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) purported failure to take action against the BJP.
According to Kashmir News Service (KNS), Abdullah claimed that the ECI has turned a blind eye to the BJP’s activities, alleging that the party has been freely spreading hate and exploiting religious sentiments to sway voters. He criticized the apparent disparity in treatment, where other parties are being strictly instructed to adhere to the MCC while the BJP allegedly flouts these rules with impunity.
Asserting his party’s stance against the decisions made on August 5, 2019, Abdullah emphasized that the NC is actively seeking votes from the people to oppose these decisions. He highlighted the significance of this election cycle, noting that it marks a significant milestone for him personally, as he files nomination papers after a gap of twenty years for national elections and a decade for elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
Abdullah further revealed that the NC and the INDIA bloc are jointly contesting the Lok Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Expressing optimism, he expressed hopes for a successful outcome, aiming to secure all five seats in Jammu and Kashmir and one in Ladakh. The statement reflects Abdullah’s confidence in the alliance’s strength and their ability to represent the interests of the region effectively. (KNS)
