SRINAGAR, Dec 12: Congress today claimed that it will emerge as the single largest party in the coming elections in the state
Talking to reporters, the PCC president G A Mir said that the Congress hopes to emerge as the single largest party in the assembly elections due next year.
Mir’s comment came after the Congress party’s win in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
“As you saw the atmosphere of the country. We have been saying it before as well that divisive and hate politics will be rejected by the voters,” said Mir, adding that PM Modi and the BJP tried to divide the country through their ‘politics of hate’.
He said that the voters of ‘Hindi heartland’ rejected the politics of hate by voting for the Congress party in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
“We hope that this trend will continue in 2019 parliamentary election as well,” he said.
He said that the Congress is trying very hard in all the three regions of the state to contest elections without forging any alliance.
While responding to a question, Mir said that the voters in India are mature and everyone saw how people in Chattisgarh decimated the Third Front that had been formed to defeat Congress party.
To a question, he said that sensitive decisions including the one regarding granting of hill status to Chenab Valley should be left to political representatives. “Why Mehbooba Mufti did not rake up the issue of Pir Panjal and Chenab Valley when she was in power,” he asked.
