Jammu: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday urged voters in the Nagrota Assembly constituency to turn out in large numbers on November 11 and ensure the party’s victory in the upcoming byelection.
Abdullah was addressing a gathering in support of National Conference candidate Shameem Begum, who is contesting the Nagrota bypoll.
The death of BJP MLA Devender Singh Rana in October 2024 necessitated a byelection for the assembly seat.
The Chief Minister, according to the news agency KNO, said, “The election would have no effect on the present dispensation. This election is not aimed at choosing the government. It is already there and will remain there even after the polls are over.”
He said that the people will get a chance to elect their representative either from the government to serve the people here or the other, who would serve them from outside the government.
Meanwhile, a technical snag in the audio system forced the National Conference leader to cut short his speech during the campaign rally in the assembly constituency.
