BJP is undermining hard-earned electoral process in J&K: Mehbooba Mufti

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was “undermining the electoral democratic process” in J&K.

“The BJP views the PDP as a staunch critic of its anti-people policies. It deliberately weakened the party and targeted me personally. They went all out, with the ED [Enforcement Directorate] summoning me, my brother, and my aged mother, and even evicting me from my residence in the harsh winter. But they failed,” Ms. Mufti said, speaking in south Kashmir’s Anantnag.

Ms. Mufti alleged the BJP would go to any extent, including undermining the faith of the people of J&K in the electoral democratic process, which she said had been restored through painstaking efforts over decades.
