BJP running administration with remote control- Congress
State Congress spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said that the BJP has weakened the democratically elected government and it is running the administration from the office of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha through ‘remote control’. He said, “Assembly elections were held last year on the direction of the Supreme Court, but the government is not being allowed to work. They (BJP people) lost the election, but are still running the government through the Lieutenant Governor’s office and the public is upset due to this double rule.

Along with this, he said that the Supreme Court has directed to restore the status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir as soon as possible, but even after 10 months of the order, the Center is deferring to restore state status.

In Rajouri, the attempt by Congress workers to take out a rally was thwarted by the police and also detained MLA Iftikhar Ahmed and many others for some time.
