He explained that if a meter is unnecessary, it should not be used, and bills would rise in line with actual usage.

He added, “We have promised 200 free units, and God willing, we will fulfill that commitment. To benefit from this, do not fall for the PDP’s political tactics.”

Abdullah criticized the PDP, claiming its leaders installed meters in government offices but failed to pass any benefits to citizens.

He said as per KNS ,that under his government, assistance is available for the most financially vulnerable.

He further said that the PDP has misled people, overlooked past errors, and in some cases, arrested individuals, while forming alliances with the BJP. In contrast, the National Conference administration prioritized public welfare.

Urging voters to focus on development, employment opportunities for youth, and electricity charges, Abdullah said the electorate’s choice would determine governance for the next four years..

He specifically appealed for support for JKNC candidate Aga Mehmood in the Budgam by-election, scheduled for November 11. Abdullah recalled past elections where voters had elected him successfully and expressed hope they would extend the same support to Aga Mehmood.(KNS).

Aga Mehmood Confirms

Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) candidate for Budgam Assembly constituency, Agha Syed Mehmood, on Monday said that Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi is a person of the National Conference, and has no reason to stay away from the election campaign.

Speaking to the media, Agha Mehmood said that the National Conference has played a vital role in shaping Aga Ruhullah’s political career. “It’s the National Conference that made him what he is today. That must be acknowledged. His role is important. I believe he will definitely come forward,” Mehmood said.

He said that he has been in regular contact with Ruhullah. “Politics aside, he’s like my own son. We have been continuously talking to each other,” he said.

Mehmood expressed confidence that Ruhullah will take part in the campaign. “There is no reason for him not to. He’s a party member. The party made him an Assembly Member from around 2002 to 2018, and then he became a Member of Parliament. So why wouldn’t he campaign?” he said.

He also said that Ruhullah’s public statements reflect party issues, not personal opinions. “What he talks about are not his personal matters but the issues of the party. Whether it’s Article 370, Article 35A, or reservation, these are National Conference issues,” Mehmood said.

“Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi will campaign for the party in the upcoming elections. He belongs to the party,” he added. (KNS)
