National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Monday accused the Jammu and Kashmir administration of “sabotaging” the conduct of assembly polls in the union territory, saying the current dispensation wants to continue to rule like uncrowned kings.
“We wanted simultaneous elections along with Lok Sabha elections. But, it did not happen. The current government of Jammu and Kashmir sabotaged that because they do not want to handover the power to the people again. They are ruling like uncrowned kings,” Abdullah told reporters here after kicking-off the party’s election campaign for Anantnag-Rajouri Parliamentary constituency.
Earlier addressing party workers at Damhal Hanjipora in the south Kashmir district here, the NC leader said bureaucrats put hurdles in holding the assembly elections as they were getting “spoiled” in J-K.
“The hurdles in holding the assembly elections were put by our officers by saying that they cannot make adequate security arrangements.You yourself say that the situation is better, normalcy has been restored, that there is no danger of guns now.
“If there is no danger of guns, then you will not need much security deployment and if you do not need, then you should have held elections. The reality is that they are getting spoiled,” he said.
