Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari on Thursday described National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party as two sides of the same coin and both striving to continue their family rule in Jammu and Kashmir.
Bukhari said that the leaders of both the NC and the PDP desire to continue their family rule in Jammu and Kashmir and hoped that the people will not allow them to exploit them any longer.
“Over the decades, the traditional parties, especially the two family-based parties, have divided Jammu and Kashmir like Rajwadas to rule the people”, he said while addressing a public rally in south Kashmir’s Shopian.
The Apni Party President said both the family parties, NC and PDP, were in consensus to stay at the helm of affairs alternatively. But things have now changed and they can no longer fool people through their deceptive narratives and fake promises.
“I am sure that their era has ended, and people will reject both political dynasties through the power of their vote”, he said. Bukhari urged the people not to fall prey to the deceptive slogans and fake promises by the NC and PDP”.
The Apni Party president said both are trying to allure you again through deceptive promises like ‘Raishumari,’ ‘Autonomy,’ and ‘Self-rule.’ Now, since these promises are things of the past and Article 370 has been abrogated, they are trying to convince you that they will restore the abrogated Article.
Bukhari promised people that the Apni Party, if given the mandate to serve, would take Jammu and Kashmir to new heights of peace, prosperity, and development.
He reiterated the party’s intention to provide 500 units of free electricity to domestic consumers across Jammu and Kashmir and also stated that his government would provide relief to people living below the poverty line by addressing their outstanding electricity bills.
The Apni Party Chief promised that his government would ensure the return of jailed youth to their homes, allowing them to resume their normal lives with their families.
