Srinagar: Describing the Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) as “unholy alliance”, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday claimed that its end was inevitable given the miseries the people of Jammu and Kashmir endured at the hands of the three families.
Reacting to the apparent divisions that have emerged within the PAGD following National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah’s refusal to share any seats with the PDP for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Tarun Chugh, the national general secretary of the BJP, said the PAGD’s “disgraceful end” was unavoidable.
PAGD—a political coalition comprising the NC and PDP among other regional political parties, Chugh said “was adamantly committed to destroying Jammu and Kashmir”.
“PAGD was an evil coalition whose disintegration was unavoidable; its corrupt leadership never shied away from plunging J&K into the raging flames,” Chugh told ‘Kashmir Images’.
The people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said, have categorically rejected these parties and would back the BJP in the next Lok Sabha elections in order to witness a major shift in the state’s development.
Asserting that the three families – the Gandhi-Nehrus, Muftis and Abdullahs – had made their life a living hell, the BJP leader said the “people of J&K will assist Prime Minister Narendra Modi in driving these parties out of the political arena.”
