BJP Leader Slams Congress Over Alliance with JKNC

BJP leader Lanka Dinakar criticized Congress' decision to form a pre-poll alliance with Jammu Kashmir National Conference, claiming it undermines national integrity and threatens India's sovereignty. Dinakar accused Congress of divisive politics and questioned their stance on the JKNC's policies.

Andhra Pradesh BJP leader Lanka Dinakar on Saturday fiercely criticized Congress party's decision to form a pre-poll alliance with the Jammu Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), alleging that this move challenges the spirit of national integrity.

Dinakar stated that the newly forged alliance in poll-bound Jammu Kashmir jeopardizes peace and harmony and poses a ''threat'' to India's sovereignty.

At a press conference at the BJP's office in Vijayawada, Dinakar questioned if Congress respects India's national flag or supports a separate flag for Jammu and Kashmir, as allegedly promised by the JKNC. He accused the Farooq Abdullah-led JKNC of encouraging Jammu & Kashmir's youth to indulge in stone pelting rather than focusing on employment and business opportunities. Dinakar asserted that Congress' divisive politics across states needs to be exposed.
