00:00The Election Commission has made the right announcement, the date has arrived, everything is fine.
00:07The Bhartiya Gandha Party is ready for the election and has already come to the election mode.
00:12The Election Commission has made the right announcement, the date has arrived, everything is fine.
00:16The Bhartiya Gandha Party will put up its candidates on the 90th seat.
00:20It was a consistent demand of people that we should have our own elected government.
00:24But here, something else is happening.
00:27Till yesterday, the party was saying that the Election Commission of India won't allow elections.
00:31The Bhartiya Gandha Party won't allow elections.
00:33Today, the election has been announced.
00:35When the date came out, they are making excuses that very little time has been given.
00:39The government has taken the right decision.
00:43The government should have taken this decision earlier.
00:46What was the reason, what was the compulsion of the central government to take so much time?
00:51For the first time in history, I am seeing that since I have grown up,
00:56I am seeing that the government was taking such a long delay.
01:01Now, whether the opposition has emphasized or not, the Election Commission has made the right announcement.
01:07The date has arrived, everything is fine.
01:09See, after a gap of 10 years, we have not had elections for the last 10 years.
01:14And it is overdue since the last 5 years.
01:17And it was a consistent demand of people that we should have our own elected government.
01:22Because there are so many issues.
01:24So, I think in that way, it is a welcome step that the Election Commission of India has announced the dates.
01:30And more importantly, I think that it has kept in mind the deadline given by the Honorable Supreme Court.
01:47Bharatiya Janata Party was already in the election mode.
01:50When the Prime Minister Narendra Modi from SKIC Srinagar,
01:55here from all over Kashmir, said that there will be elections at a fixed time.
01:59So, we were assuming that the date given by the government in September
02:04and what was said by the Honorable Supreme Court.
02:06So, we were assuming that the elections will take place in September.
02:09And today, the schedule has come that there will be elections in three phases.
02:13Bharatiya Janata Party was already in the election mode.
02:17Now, the first public rallies, door-to-door campaigning,
02:21or booth-to-booth level outreach program that we have started,
02:24that was the deadline for the elections.
02:25Bharatiya Janata Party is ready for the elections.
02:27And it was already in the election mode.
02:29Everything has its own benefits.
02:32There was the UT government here.
02:34But the UT government has been established here for the first time since 2019.
02:38Before this, the people here, the political power,
02:42the system of the Prime Minister has been there from the beginning.
02:46I feel that the people are getting peace here.
02:51The UT government has its own issues, it has its own goals, it has its own benefits.
02:55But the issue of Kashmir, I feel that without the Prime Minister,
02:59something else is happening here.
03:02This is a very happy thing.
03:04We have been waiting for 10 years for a local government,
03:09as it happens in every state.
03:11Alhamdulillah, today it was announced.
03:13This is a very happy thing.
03:16The biggest thing is that all our problems,
03:20when we have a local candidate, an assembly member,
03:23who is our minister from here,
03:25definitely if we talk about any department, any court,
03:29if there is any problem there,
03:31we can go to a representative and talk about our grievances,
03:36which we have been missing for the past 10 years.
03:39The opposition in the country is very important and a strong opposition.
03:43Now if we look back at the last five years,
03:47there was no reason not to have elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
03:50But because there was not a strong opposition in the parliament,
03:54they could do away with this thing.
03:57But now we believe that since there is a strong opposition
04:00in the parliament and the opposition is like a watchdog,
04:03it will always try to keep up the democratic values
04:07and the democratic aspirations.
04:09I think probably that is also one of the reasons
04:12that the elections have been announced in Jammu and Kashmir.
04:15I think that first of all,
04:17I would like to convey this message to the people of Jammu and Kashmir
04:21that there is a lot of controversy among the people here.
04:24Since yesterday, when people heard that the Election Commission
04:28is going to give a press conference,
04:31everyone's attention was focused on this.
04:34Especially the people of Kashmir were anxiously waiting
04:37for the election to take place here,
04:40so that some relief will be available to the people.
04:44Because people have also become very tired.
04:47Since the issue of the article has been going on for a long time,
04:51the election has been pending.
04:54And people were ready from yesterday
04:57that the Election Commission is going to be announced tomorrow.
05:01And people's attention was also on this
05:04that everyone was happy that this will happen today.
05:08As far as I am concerned,
05:10as a local, I have seen that there is a lot of support among the people.
05:15Nevertheless, what we feel is that
05:18it was a long-awaiting demand of the people.
05:21We, as political parties, will have to rush up.
05:24We'll have to spend hours going out and reaching out to the people.
05:29It is an uphill task, a difficult task.
05:32But yes, this had to be done.
05:34And this was a persistent demand of the people.
05:36So we'll have to cope up with it.
05:38Until yesterday, this party was saying that the Election Commission of India
05:41does not allow elections.
05:43Now the BJP does not allow elections.
05:45When the date came out today,
05:47you are making excuses that very little time has been given.
05:50If very little time has been given,
05:52the time allotted is the same for the BJP,
05:56the same for the PDP and the same for the NC.
06:00When the BJP welcomes this,
06:03then why are you saying that elections should not be held very soon?
06:07My request to the people is that
06:09through you, the government has announced,
06:11the Chief Election Commissioner has announced
06:13that the election has been postponed.
06:16Now people will leave their homes to vote.
06:19There are three phases of the J&K election.
06:21Now some parties were already working hard for this.
06:26So now it is a simple matter that the election has been postponed.
06:30So we have to prepare for the election.
06:32No, nothing like that.
06:34The Bharatiya Janata Party will hold its candidates on the 90th seat.
06:38Our slogan is 50 crores, this time 50 crores.
06:41The Bharatiya Janata Party will hold on to this
06:43with a mindset that this time the Bharatiya Janata Party
06:45will fight the election with the same courage and courage
06:48that we have given the slogan of 50 crores.
06:50We will complete it and make our government in J&K.
06:53The wait is finally over.
06:55The people of J&K will vote for the first time
06:57after the abrogation of Article 317.
07:00The Election Commission of India has announced
07:03a three-phase poll beginning from September 18.
07:06Who will be the next Chief Minister of J&K
07:08J&K will only be known on October 4 when the results will be out.
07:13With Cameraperson Irfan, this is Izhar Ali for One India.
