Srinagar, 01 May (KNS): The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Party President Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said people of Anantnag-Rajouri will give a big blow to those hatching conspiracy to deprive Gujjar-Bakarwal population from exercising their franchise.

He made these comments while addressing a series of massive election rallies in Kotranka and Thanamandi organised by DDC Chairman Naseem Liaqat and Muzaffar Khan respectively.

In his address Dr Farooq said, "BJP & its allies have developed cold feet due to the ground swell of support on ground for NC. In reality BJP is in panic mode as it is losing badly in the ensuing elections. It has already lost Udhampur & Jammu seats. BJP stands wiped out in the plains of Jammu. They fear that they are losing this election too and scared of it, their only strategy is now to defer the polls. Deferring polls is to benefit the BJP and its allies but all such nefarious designs will not yield anticipated results as people will dust their plans and vote against them."

He further exhorted people to remain cautious of BJP & its communal designs.
