"The NC has done nothing for the welfare of common citizens. The public is now aware and will vote for progress, not empty promises. - Shakti Raj Parihar"

Doda, November 13

Bharatiya Janata Party MLA and former Jammu and Kashmir minister Shakti Raj Parihar has expressed strong confidence in the party's performance in the ongoing elections, particularly in the Nagrota and Budgam constituencies.

Addressing mediapersons here, Parihar said that the BJP will lead with a clear and convincing margin in Nagrota, where the people have shown tremendous faith in the leadership and policies of the party. Speaking about Budgam, he added that BJP workers have put in tireless efforts at the grassroots level, reaching every household and highlighting the party's vision for development and peace.

He took a sharp dig at the National Conference (NC), accusing it of failing the people over the years.

"The NC has done nothing for the welfare of common citizens. The public is now aware and will vote for progress, not empty promises," Parihar stated, according to an official statement.

Parihar also condemned the recent blast in Delhi, calling it a "cowardly act against humanity." He said such acts cannot weaken India's unity and resolve, and urged the authorities to take strict action against those responsible.

Reaffirming BJP's commitment, the Doda MLA said that the party stands for development, transparency, and a corruption-free system, and the people's verdict will once again prove their trust in Prime Minister.

While I appreciate the development work, I wish political parties would focus more on local issues rather than just attacking opponents. The low voter turnout in Budgam (21.74%) shows people might be disillusioned with all parties.

Interesting to see how J&K politics is evolving. The condemnation of the Delhi blast was appropriate - terrorism has no place in civilized society. Hope the elections bring stability to the region.

Nagrota recorded 34% voting which is decent for a bypoll. People want development and BJP has delivered on many fronts. The late Devender Singh Rana was a good leader - hope his successor continues the good work.
