GOI by subverting democracy reminds me of the cycle of rigged elections in the past, which is one of the reasons J&K is in turmoil. How long will @ECISVEEP ignore such malpractices?.”
“In 2002 BJP’s Vajpayee ji promised & ensured free & fair elections in J&K. And in 2020 the very same BJP is going all out to ensure every election here from municipal to DDC is manipulated & rigged,’’ she said in her tweet. (KDC)
