BJP ready for polls in J&K to decimate opponents: Party leader Kavinder Gupta

BJP ready to "decimate opponents brutally" in Jammu & Kashmir polls. Kavinder Gupta says BJP enjoys tremendous support of electorate & Modi govt shifted democracy to 30,000 elected reps.

Hitting back at National Conference's (NC) Omar Abdullah, BJP leader Kavinder Gupta on Friday said the party leadership in Jammu and Kashmir is waiting for all kinds of political contests to decimate its opponents "brutally".

Mr. Gupta said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is always ready for all types of polls in Jammu and Kashmir and it is up to the Election Commission (EC) to take a call on holding the Assembly election in the Union Territory.

He was reacting to Abdullah's remarks that the BJP does not want to hold the Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir.

"Those accusing the BJP of deliberately delaying the election are simply daydreaming because the BJP leadership in Jammu and Kashmir is waiting for all kinds of political contests to decimate its opponents brutally as the party enjoys tremendous support of the electorate -- whether it is in Jammu, Kashmir or any other part of the Union Territory," Gupta said.

The former Jammu and Kashmir deputy chief minister said the saffron party is ever ready for polls in Jammu and Kashmir and it is up to the EC to take a call on holding the Assembly election.

He said Abdullah is living in fool's paradise because the BJP's accomplishments have changed the scenario not only in Jammu but also in Kashmir.

After terrorism was ended in Jammu and Kashmir and normalcy restored by the BJP government at the Centre, the electorate has been galvanised and is standing shoulder to shoulder with the party to teach a lesson to the dynastic parties that ruined several generations of Kashmiris just to satiate their vested interests, Gupta said.
