MP CM Mohan Yadav Hopes for BJP Success in Jammu and Kashmir Elections
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has expressed his hope that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will receive strong support in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. He believes that people want a ‘double engine government’ with the BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking recently, CM Yadav said, “Assembly elections are ongoing and I held two public meetings in Samba district of Jammu recently. I am satisfied with the election atmosphere, especially after the abrogation of Article 370. Under the leadership of PM Modi, Jammu and Kashmir is eager to match steps with the rest of the nation.”
He added, “Public response is very good. People believe that 75 years were spoiled and it was a bad time. They want to have a double engine government with BJP, under the leadership of PM Modi. The way the central government is moving forward taking the states alongside is creating new records in development and we will properly utilise this present time.”
The elections for the 90 seats of the Jammu and Kashmir assembly are being held in three phases. The first phase of voting took place on September 18 with a voter turnout of 61.13% across 24 constituencies in seven districts, according to the Election Commission. Voting for the second and third phases will be held on September 25 and October 1, respectively. Votes will be counted on October 8.
CM Yadav also spoke about the upcoming assembly elections in Jharkhand, stating that he would be visiting there soon. “Elections will be held in Jharkhand and Maharashtra later. So, I am visiting Jharkhand. The nature of Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand are quite similar. The BJP’s parivartan yatra is getting a very good response from the public. Though the election dates are yet to be announced, I hope that Jharkhand will vote for BJP once again for development,” he added.
