Altaf Thakur Slams National Conference, Calls It a “Failed Party Trying to Divert People’s Attention” BJP spokesperson for Jammu and Kashmir, Altaf Thakur, launched a scathing attack on the National Conference (NC), accusing the party of deceiving the people and failing to fulfill even a single commitment made to them. Thakur said that the National Conference is trying to hide its face behind false promises and emotional slogans, but the people of Jammu and Kashmir are now fully aware of its failures. “Like the way Arvind Kejriwal was politically exposed and defeated by the BJP in Delhi, the same will happen with the National Conference here,” he remarked. Referring to the recent flood situation in Parimpora, Thakur expressed shock that residents are still facing severe waterlogging issues while the government has done nothing to alleviate their suffering. “It’s a complete governance failure,” he said. He further added that the NC’s repeated use of the ‘statehood’ issue is merely a tactic to divert people’s attention from its inefficiency and unfulfilled promises. “For every issue, they hide behind the demand for statehood. It’s a political shield to cover their failures,” Thakur stated. The BJP spokesperson assured that the party will hold the National Conference accountable for every false promise and unkept commitment in the upcoming legislative assembly. Reacting to the two-seat election scenario, Thakur said the NC stands no chance of victory as “the people have realized the truth about their hollow governance.” On the Supreme Court hearing regarding the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir, he reiterated that the BJP has already made its stand clear on the floor of the House. “The restoration of statehood will be done at an appropriate time. The National Conference should not create unnecessary hue and cry or mislead the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he concluded.
