| BJP campaigning on Anantnag-Rajouri seat without seeking votes for any party | | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, May 2: BJP leaders are aggressively campaigning in different pockets of the prestigious Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha but they are not seeking votes for any particular candidate in this Parliamentary constituency.
After the completion of polling in the Jammu-Reasi Lok Sabha the BJP has shifted its focus on three seats of Kashmir Valley in general and the Anantnag-Rajouri in particular where the party has some stake after granting Scheduled Tribe status to the Pahari ethnic tribe.
Interestingly, everyday BJP media cell issues press notes of the leaders campaigning in the Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha constituency but in these official handouts of the party, nothing has been mentioned about the candidate for whom the party is seeking votes. While addressing public meetings BJP leaders only criticized the National Conference, Congress, and the Peoples’ Democratic Party but they did not reveal the name of the candidate to whom the people have to vote.
