Jammu, Oct. 12-Strongly opposing the attempts to enroll lakhs of outside voters în Jammu and Kashmir , through backdoor, the Congress has hit out at the BJP for its efforts to enroll maximum outside voters , since it has lost trust on the local voters .
Addressing a press conference at PCC HQ here today, JKPCC President Shri Vikar Rasool Wani alongwith Working President Shri Raman Bhalla and Other senior leaders, said that the Cât is finally out of the bag, în furtherance of the . announcement of CEO of Jammu and Kashmir had already announced addition of around 25 lakh voters especially from outside.
After lot of hue &cry, it was clarified în the all party meeting called by CEO that there is no such intention to include outside voters but now the truth is before people.
Now anybody can become voters în Jammu and Kashmir by getting a certificate even if he doesn’t have any documentary evidence. The intention is clearly known. The order of District Election officer Jammu has clearly stated that even without any documents, the tehsildars shall issue residence certificates to anybody on his satisfaction, which means absolute discretion.
This is game plan of BJP to dilute the power of local voters, especially în Jammu region, since they (BJP) feel Pulse of the large scale resentment amongst the J &K residents and local voters here, due to wrong policy decisions, unprecedented price hike, record unemployment of about 33 percent and so on.

The Jammu is identified as a pilgrim destination în the country în view of holy vaishno devi shrine and other holy places while Jammu city is known as city of Temples. The BJP govt. has failed to give jobs but now easily making available liquor on karyana shops for the youth. They have taken a very anti people decision as 228 shops în last seventy years în three regions but BJP govt opened opened 51 more liquor shops besides ordering sale of Beer and other such drinks on departmental stores în every nook and corner of Jammu and Kashmir.
