Kathua (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], September 23 : Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma on Monday launched a scathing attack on Congress, saying that every election of the party is based on 'lies'.
CM Bhajanlal Sharma was in Kathua on Monday, seeking support for his party in the poll-bound Jammu and Kashmir.
"Every election of Congress is based on lies, they contest elections based on deceiving the public," Sharma said.
CM Sharma further exuded confidence about forming the BJP's government in the UT.
"I have come to Jammu and Kashmir today and the way I am seeing the enthusiasm of the youth and women, the BJP government will be formed in Jammu and Kashmir with a huge majority." Sharma said.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Jitendra Singh paid tribute to Maharaja Hari Singh in Jammu. He also launched an attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi.
"Even when we had said that statehood (to J&K) will be given, he (Rahul Gandhi) is saying the same thing again and again so that when statehood is given, he will say that it happened because I had put pressure," Singh said.
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi, asserted that the INDIA bloc will provide statehood to Jammu and Kashmir and said that earlier, people used to make decisions through their elected MLAs, but today a king (LG) has been appointed who is an outsider who cannot understand what is in the hearts of the people.
Addressing a public rally on Monday, Rahul Gandhi said, "Earlier, in Jammu & Kashmir, people used to make decisions through their elected MLAs, but today a king has been appointed. The LG is like a king, and he is an outsider. That's why he cannot do what is in the hearts of the people of J-K. He doesn't even know how to do it."
The first phase of three phase assembly elections was held on September 18. Notably, a voter turnout of 61.13 pc was registered in the first phase, which was held in 24 constituencies in seven districts.
Voting for the second and third phases in J-K will be held on September 25 and October 1 respectively. Votes will be counted on October 8.
