The results of the elections for four Rajya Sabha seats of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir have come. National Conference candidates have won on three seats, while one seat has gone to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). After BJP’s victory on one seat, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted on social media platform Therefore the question arises that where did BJP’s four additional votes come from?
Omar Abdullah Said in the post on X that all the votes of National Conference remained intact, our agent saw every slip. Who was that MLA who deliberately got his votes canceled by entering the wrong preference number while voting? How dare they admit to helping BJP after promising to vote for us? Let us see whether any member of BJP’s secret team admits to selling his conscience or not.
Actually, BJP has 28 MLAs in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. BJP candidate Sat Sharma got 32 votes, which is four more than the numerical strength. Omar Abdullah’s question is about these four votes. Three notifications were issued for the elections of four seats in Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference K Chaudhary Mohammad Ramzan was contesting against Ali Mohammad Mir of BJP. The National Conference candidate got 58 votes, while the BJP candidate could get only 28 votes as per the party’s numerical strength.
National Conference’s Sajjad Kitchlu had a direct contest with BJP’s Rakesh Mahajan on the second seat. Kitchlu got 57 votes and one vote was cancelled. BJP candidate got 28 votes. The third notification was regarding the elections for two seats. National Conference had fielded candidates on both the seats. National Conference had fielded GS Oberoi alias Shami Oberoi and Imran Nabi Dar. At the same time, BJP had made Jammu and Kashmir President Sat Sharma its candidate.
National Conference’s Shammi Oberoi got 31 votes, while Dar could get only 21 votes. BJP’s Sat Sharma got 32 votes. Three votes were cancelled. There is speculation that independent MLAs will vote in favor of Sat Sharma.
Dar accused of horse trading
National Conference candidate Imran Nabi Dar accused BJP of horse trading. He said that we have always been saying that BJP cannot contest elections in a normal manner. Today this has also come to light. Dar said that BJP did not have the numbers. BJP has 28 MLAs, how did they get 32 votes? It is clear that horse trading has taken place.
Four MLAs listened to the voice of conscience – Sat Sharma
BJP candidate Sat Sharma said after his victory that everyone supported BJP. He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President JP Nadda for his Rajya Sabha candidature and said that we have 28 MLAs. But four other MLAs also voted for us based on their conscience. Is it wrong to listen to the voice of conscience?
Sajjad Lone raised questions on the strategy of National Conference
Sajjad Lone had abstained from voting in the Rajya Sabha elections. Tagging Omar Abdullah, he posted on social media platform X and raised questions on the strategy of National Conference. Sajjad Lone questioned why 31 votes were cast in favor of the third candidate. Why were only 28 votes left for the fourth candidate? There is no cross voting here, there is a tie. He said that a serious effort would have meant that 30 votes would have been cast for the third candidate and 29 votes, one more than BJP’s 28, would have been left for the fourth candidate.
