The state Congress chief Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz Wednesday termed the boycott call issued by the pro-freedom camp here as a ‘failed idea’, saying present polls indicate that people would not boycott any election in the state.
Talking to KNS, Soz remarked that the people of valley have once again proved that the boycott call of the separatist leaders promotes ‘negativism’ and that the idea of rejecting the democratic process has failed to yield any results on ground. “People want employment, good governance and better facilities for themselves. Boycotting polls will not benefit them and they have understood it.”
The state Congress chief remarked that he is hopeful of the positive outcome of the large participation of people in the first phase of elections and that the ground reports suggest a remarkable victory for the Congress party in most of the regions of Jammu and Kashmir.
He maintained further that during the first phase of polling, Congeess has taken control over Bandipora and Gurez. Soz also claimed to have won all the four seats of the Ladakh region including Leh, Zanskar, Nobra and Kargil.
Soz said that the peoples ‘ participation in the election fray would yield positive results for the Congress party in the state as the party has also performed well in the Chenab of Jammu and that BJP’s mission 44 would not see day’s light in JK as the people here at large have decided to keep communal forces at bay.
