Srinagar, Oct 24 (JKNS): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday raised serious allegations of possible manipulation in the recently concluded Rajya Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir, claiming that the BJP received “four extra votes” despite all NC votes remaining intact.
As per news agency JKNS, CM Omar, in a post on X said, “All of @JKNC_ votes remained intact across the four elections, as witnessed by our election agent who saw each polling slip. There was no cross voting from any of our MLAs, so the questions arise where did the 4 extra votes of the BJP come from?”
He further questioned, “Who were the MLAs who deliberately invalidated their votes by marking a wrong preference number while voting? Do they have the courage to admit to helping the BJP after promising us their support? What pressure or inducement made them take this step?”
Omar Abdullah called on those “who secretly aided the BJP” to come forward and take responsibility. His comments came in the wake of the Rajya Sabha poll results, where the National Conference won three seats while the BJP secured one after a closely contested election. (JKNS)
