Srinagar, Oct 22: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday exuded hope that the National Conference (NC) would emerge victorious in all four seats in the Rajya Sabha elections, slated to be held on October 24. He also urged the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Legislative Assembly, Sunil Sharma, to stop issuing baseless statements.<\/p>\n

On the sidelines of the joint strategy meeting, the Chief Minister, as per the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), told media persons that ahead of every Assembly session, a Legislature Party Meeting is conducted, and today, NC and other<\/p>\n

independents held a meeting to devise a strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis session is different from others as elections for the Rajya Sabha are being held, and a strategy was being prepared to secure victory in all the seats,\u201d he said, terming today\u2019s meeting as significant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thankful to Tarigami and other independents for attending the meeting. With the enthusiasm that can be seen among the NC MLAs and other independents, I am hopeful that NC will secure all four Rajya Sabha seats,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Chief Minister, while replying to a query about Congress\u2019s non-participation in the meeting, said that they did not join as they had their own meeting. \u201cCongress has always maintained that they will not allow the BJP to emerge victorious. Congress has its own system. There is a difference between their party and ours. They have to wait for the party high command\u2019s decision, whereas we take decisions here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Congress high command cannot be in favour of the BJP,\u201d he said, referring to Congress\u2019s participation in the Rajya Sabha elections. He added that although, at the local level, Congress was ready to contest the bypolls, the high command decided to leave the seat for NC, and therefore, the candidate was announced.<\/p>\n

Regarding PDP\u2019s support, the Chief Minister said, \u201cOur leader, Shami Oberoi, met PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti today and requested, on behalf of the party, to support the NC candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections. Earlier, Dr. Farooq Abdullah also spoke with her. Although no decision has been made public by the party yet, they have promised us that a decision will be taken after internal discussions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the LoP\u2019s statement, the Chief Minister said that he must clarify who made the offer to form a government with the BJP. \u201cWe have not made any such offer. We don\u2019t hide anything. The LoP must stop issuing these baseless statements,\u201d he added. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
