Jammu-Kashmir Election: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, while addressing the Congress Working Committee meeting in Jammu, said that the upcoming election in Jammu Kashmir is a very important election because it is an election of your existence, if you win in this, you will get the status of a state. He said that if you win this election, then the Prime Minister who is running with dictatorship today, who is doing everything with a lot of arrogance, will not work.At the same time, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi said that my family comes from Jammu Kashmir and you have to move ahead thinking that I am your soldier in Delhi and whatever you want, my doors are always open for you. You just have to give the order and I will be present here.He said that a few days ago, Kharge ji and I were talking and I had said that we should go to Jammu Kashmir, not just for the elections, we wanted to give a message to the people of the country and the people of Jammu Kashmir. For the first time after independence, a state was made a union territory, meaning states in India were divided, union territories were given the status of states, but no state was ever made a union territory and this happened for the first time in Jammu and Kashmir.Jammu and Kashmir should get state statusRahul Gandhi said that the entire benefit that is happening in Jammu and Kashmir is not going to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, but to people from outside. We wanted that before the elections, Jammu and Kashmir should be given the status of a state again. Now it is okay that they have held the elections earlier but we still want that Jammu and Kashmir should be given the status of a state as soon as possible.Rahul Gandhi said that an alliance is being formed and I want that whatever alliance happens, our workers and commanders should get respect. You people fight for us and this is a battle of ideology. This is a battle between the ideology of the Congress party and the ideology of the RSS.This is a battle of ideology: Rahul GandhiHe said that when your ideology was being attacked, you people were roaming around with the flag of the Congress party. Many people threw the flag and sent it away. You people did not go. You stood there, you were lathi charged, you were shot and abused but you did not move back even an inch. That is why I call you the lion of the Congress party. Tickets are distributed in elections but I want that our workers should also get a chance to become MLAs.
