Hindustan Times  

Campaigning for the 24 assembly segments for Phase 1 of Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls, slated to be held on September 18, ended on Monday. While Union home minister Amit Shah held two rallies in Jammu division, former chief ministers Ghulam Nabi Azad, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti held rallies in Doda, Anantnag and Pulwama districts. “We must realise that these slogans are only meant to benefit those who want to grab power and once in power, they do nothing for the people.” PDP president Mehbooba Mufti also addressed a rally in Seer Anantnag and asked voters to compare work of PDP with the NC which ruled J&K for decades. “They even introduced draconian laws when Omar was foreign minister in Vajpayee’s cabinet.” J&K’s BJP election in-charge Ram Madhav also attended programme of BJP candidate in Nikas Pulwama and Shopian and told people to vote for BJP. “Which ever government comes to power will be part of BJP and the Congress is following NC in J&K which wants restoration of Article 370 and release of terrorists from jails which would never happen.” High level security arrangements in place Meanwhile, high level security arrangements have been made across the J&K, especially in those constituencies which will go to polls on Wednesday, including the districts of south Kashmir, Kishtwar and Doda, where polling will be held in the first phase.
