National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah, who campaigned for the Kargil hill council elections for the second day on October 1, pitched these elections as Kargil voters’ verdict on the Centre’s actions on August 5, 2019, when Ladakh was carved out as a separate Union Territory (UT) from Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking at a series of public meetings in Kargil and Zanskar areas of Ladakh, Mr. Abdullah wasn’t too focused on ‘sadak, bijli and pani’ (road, electricity, and water) issues.
“Use your vote in the right way. It’s the first time after August 5, 2019 that you are getting an opportunity to raise your voice. You can send a clear message through your vote that you accept or reject the decisions of 2019,” the former J&K Chief Minister said.
