J&K polls: Cong's ‘hypocrisy’ jab at BJP for questioning its alliance with National Conference
Hindustan TimesCongress general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala on Sunday lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party, accusing it of hypocrisy for questioning his party's pre-poll alliance with Farooq Abdullah-led National Conference for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir elections. Surjewala's remarks come after several BJP leaders including Union home minister Amit Shah slammed the grand old party for its alliance with the NC. “The Congress party, which has repeatedly risked the nation’s unity and security to satiate its greed for power, has once again exposed its ulterior motives by allying with the Abdullah family's 'National Conference' in the Jammu and Kashmir elections,” the minister had said on X. BJP's alliances with PDP, NC in past Jammu and Kashmir last witnessed an election back in 2014. After the results sprung a hung assembly, the BJP and Mufti Mohammed Sayeed's People's Democratic Party, two parties ideologically poles apart, formed an alliance to govern the erstwhile state.
