Congress leader Sachin Pilot criticized the BJP’s ‘PoK will be part of Jammu and Kashmir’ statement, calling it election rhetoric. He questioned why the BJP did not act on this during their 10-year majority rule. Pilot is confident that Congress will secure a significant number of seats in Haryana.
In an interview, Pilot stated that the Congress could attain a two-thirds majority in Haryana, citing a lack of interest from top BJP leaders in campaigning. He emphasized the collective efforts of Congress and National Conference in ensuring a majority in Jammu and Kashmir.
Pilot dismissed Yogi Adityanath’s PoK remarks as election tactics, highlighting the BJP’s temporary focus on such issues during campaigning. He expressed optimism about Congress’s prospects in both Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir.
Overall, Pilot projected a strong performance by Congress in the upcoming elections and criticized the BJP’s governance record. He affirmed Congress’s commitment to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir if elected.
The Haryana Assembly polls are scheduled for October 5, with the results set to be announced on October 8 alongside Jammu and Kashmir’s election outcome.
