J&K NC says BJP’s attempts to get reserved seats rotated before polls reflect defeat

Jammu, Dec 8 Jammu and Kashmir National Conference on Monday expressed satisfaction over the assurance of Governor Satya Pal Malik against any attempt of trampling with basic constitutional framework of Jammu and Kashmir and other issues involving legalities like rotation of reserved seats and Resettlement Laws pending in the apex court.

”The Governor has assured that his administration will focus on governance and leave legal and constitutional matters to the elected government”, NC Provincial President Devender Singh Rana here told the media after meeting the Governor at Raj Bhavan along with party delegation.

He said the delegation invited the attention of the Governor to media reports about the BJP’s overt and covert machinations in getting eight assembly seats of Kishtwar, Bishnah, Billawar, Nagrota, Vijaypur, Akhnoor and Ramnagar rotated.

He said the BJP has seen writing on the wall on the face of rejection by the people and was thus indulging in deceit.

”These machinations also reflect BJP’s frustration and admission of having lost even as the ‘bigul’ for elections is yet to sound”, Mr Rana adding that desperate BJP is showing signs and symptoms of defeat by resorting to behind the certain conspiracies in the mistaken belief of manipulating the institution of the Governor and his inherent legislative powers in the wake of dissolution of Legislative Assembly.
