Srinagar, Oct 24: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday alleged possible manipulation in the Rajya Sabha elections held in Jammu and Kashmir, claiming that the BJP received “four extra votes” despite NC’s tally remaining intact.
Omar in a post on X said, “All of @JKNC_ votes remained intact across the four elections, as witnessed by our election agent who saw each polling slip. There was no cross voting from any of our MLAs, so the questions arise, where did the 4 extra votes of the BJP come from?”
He further questioned, “Who were the MLAs who deliberately invalidated their votes by marking a wrong preference number while voting? Do they have the courage to admit to helping the BJP after promising us their support? What pressure or inducement made them take this step?”
Omar said it was time for “those who secretly aided the BJP” to come forward and accept responsibility. His remarks follow the Rajya Sabha poll results, where NC won three seats and the BJP secured one after a close contest. (KNC)
