Jammu: The BJP is not fielding any candidate on the three Lok Sabha seats in the Kashmir region because it is weak there, Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Vikar Rasool Wani said on Sunday, while exuding confidence that his party would win both the seats in the Jammu region.“If the INDIA bloc comes to power at the Centre, it will protect “culture, jobs and land”, restore statehood and hold assembly elections in J&K,” he said.A day earlier, BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir unit chief Ravinder Raina defended the decision of not fielding candidates in Anantnag-Rajouri, Srinagar and Baramulla Lok Sabha seats in the Kashmir region, stating that “sometimes decisions are made to achieve a bigger goal” and the BJP is supporting “patriotic” parties in these constituencies.Reacting to the comments, Wani described Raina as “hawa baaz". “They (BJP) do not have any voter base. When they have no polling agent, no campaign, no cadre base, how will they fight elections in Kashmir?” he asked. pti
