“The public of Jammu and Kashmir wants a non-BJP government to be formed in the Union Territory. They want to elect a government that will raise their voices. The public has given their mandate and the results will be announced on October 8 on expected lines,” the CPM leader said.
“Exit polls have their assessments and projections but we are waiting for the results. According to me, the mood of the people is to elect a secular government that fulfils the promises. It is also my opinion that non-BJP secular parties need to have the upper hand and win,” said Tarigami.
Tarigami also spoke on EAM S Jaishankar’s visit to Pakistan for the SCO summit and said, “It is very good that the EAM will be going to Pakistan to attend the SCO meeting. Both the countries should try to resolve tensions between them by holding talks with each other.” Earlier People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate from Lal Chowk Assembly seat Zuhaib Yousuf Mir on Saturday hinted that they can join the National Conference-Congress alliance to keep the Bharatiya Janata Party out of power.
Mir said they are ready to take any step to save the identity of Kashmir. “As far as we are concerned, exit polls are not a serious activity but time pass activity. PDP is confident that it will be an indispensable and important part of the secular government that will form in J-K. PDP will have an important role in forming any secular government. We had said that we are ready to take any step to save the identity of Kashmir but for this, it is important that we formulate a secular government, a government against BJP not with them,” he said.
