Tral: Rafiq Ahmed Naik, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate from Tral, led an election rally on foot from Tral Bala to Tral Payeen after Friday prayers, which saw participation from both party workers and local residents.
During the rally, Rafiq Ahmed Naik addressed the public at two separate locations in Tral Bala and Tral Payeen.
In his speeches, he questioned the National Conference-Congress alliance, stating that although the Congress was given the Tral seat, a leader from the same party is contesting as an independent candidate, which he described as a form of political manipulation. He urged Rahul Gandhi, whom he praised as an excellent person, to take notice of the situation and investigate why this is happening.
Rafiq Ahmed Naik also shared his experiences from the election campaign, noting that many people remembered his father’s contributions and embraced him warmly.
He remarked, “The people have told me that I have not yet done anything, but they will make me successful with their votes, for the sake of the community.”
