Rashid Engineer, MP from Baramulla seat of Jammu and Kashmir, reached Srinagar on Thursday morning. He was released from Delhi’s Tihar Jail yesterday evening. Rashid Engineer has come out of jail on bail till October 2 in the terror funding case, but his arrival in Kashmir seems to be endangering the social engineering of Omar Abdullah to Mehbooba Mufti. Sheikh Rashid Engineer bowed his head on the ground and was seen kissing the ground as soon as he reached Srinagar. He started crying and said that my fight is only for Kashmir. The way he defeated Omar Abdullah in the elections in Baramulla and is now playing the emotional card again, it can change the electoral equations.
Rashid Engineer while talking to media said that this is my land. I don’t care about the allegations of Omar Abdullah or Mehbooba Mufti. I am fighting a battle which Mehbooba and Omar cannot fight. My fight is much bigger than theirs. He said that I want self-respect, peace and dignity. I have come to give Kashmiris their rights. Rashid Engineer said that I will not let PM Narendra Modi’s dream of Naya Kashmir be fulfilled. Actually Omar Abdullah has been accusing Rashid Engineer that he is in cahoots with BJP. With his help BJP can win the assembly elections of Jammu and Kashmir.
The entire game can change once the 47 seats of Kashmir are divided
The tension of National Conference, PDP and Congress is also increasing because Rashid Engineer has announced to contest on 35 to 40 seats. The way Rashid Engineer’s influence has increased in Jammu and Kashmir, a section of Islamic fundamentalists and separatists may go to Rashid Engineer’s side. If this happens then the equations will be completely different. BJP is expected to perform well on 43 seats of Jammu. On the other hand, if there is a good distribution of 47 seats in Kashmir then there can be good news for it.
The engineer said- the opposition stabs from behind
Sheikh Rashid says that I will not form an alliance with anyone, I will only listen to my heart and fight for Kashmiris. Not only this, Rashid Engineer, without making any difference between Modi and the opposition, says that Modi ji attacks from the front and the opposition stabs from behind. One fact is enough to understand the political power of Rashid Engineer. The Baramulla seat from which he won in the Lok Sabha elections has 16 assembly constituencies. During the general elections, he got a direct lead in 14 of these and defeated Omar Abdullah.
Why Rashid Engineer is now stronger than ever before in Lok Sabha elections
It is being said that this can happen more in the assembly elections because general elections are held in the name of the country. Now Rashid Engineer can increase his influence even more by talking about Kashmiriyat. On the other hand, Omar Abdullah is constantly engaged in propagating that Rashid Engineer is in cahoots with the BJP.
PM’s dream of ‘New Kashmir’ will fail; said Rashid Engineer as soon as he came out of Tihar
