Ruhullah Blasts NC Over Cross-Voting, Refuses To Campaign In Budgam
Kashmir Observer
|October 26,2025 Issue
Senior National Conference (NC) leader and Member of Parliament from Srinagar, Aga Ruhullah Mehdi, on Saturday announced that he will not campaign for his party in the upcoming Budgam by-polls, citing the NC's political and administrative failures in Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking to reporters, Mehdi targeted the party leadership, accusing Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of hiding the names of MLAs involved in alleged cross-voting during the recent Rajya Sabha elections.
“I have no knowledge of who voted for whom, but the Chief Minister seems to know and is deliberately not revealing the names,” Mehdi said. “This is not a private matter; it is public property. Credibility is built on people's trust and their votes. If wrongdoing occurred, citizens have a right to know who is innocent and who betrayed them.”
