Srinagar, Oct 07(KNS): On the eve of Jammu and Kashmir's Assembly poll results, Congress has accused the BJP of using "malicious tactics" to undermine the voter verdict in favor of the Congress-National Conference alliance.

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh claimed that the BJP is trying to orchestrate a hung assembly through insidious strategies.

"Facing imminent defeat, the BJP is playing desperate games to engineer a majority and hoping for a hung assembly to aid them in their subterfuge. They know that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have given a clear mandate to the INC-NC alliance," he said in a post on 'X'

"To undo this democratic process, they have resorted to the old ways of their self-proclaimed bogus ‘Chanakya-niti.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel’ We have clear information and basis to say that malicious steps are being taken through a colourable and malafide exercise of power to negate the people’s verdict in favour of the INC – NC alliance in J&K. We will do everything in our power to thwart such nefarious designs," he added.

With exit polls indicating a hung assembly for 90 seats in Jammu and Kashmir, all eyes are now on the actual results, which will be announced tomorrow, October 8.

Voters in Jammu and Kashmir cast ballots in three phases: on September 18, September 25, and October 1. This year’s three-phase elections resulted in an overall voter participation of 63.45%.(KNS).
