Meanwhile, prior posting his questions, Amit Shah in his tweet said ‘The Congress has once again exposed its ulterior motives by allying with the Abdullah family’s National Conference.’
In addition, he asked the grand old party to clear their stance on reservations granted to Dalits & other backward groups (which the NC has promised to look into, if coming back to power).
‘Does Rahul Gandhi support the JKNC manifesto, which calls for abolishing reservations for Dalits, Gujjars, Bakerwals, and Pahadis?….After allying with the National Conference, he should now clarify the Congress Party’s stance on reservation policy.’ said Amit Shah.
Moreover, he also accused congress for allegedly putting nation’s unity at risk for greed for power.

She also asked, that does congress support NC’s agenda of breaking India? “Does the Congress party support the national conference agenda of breaking India? The National Conference speaks about LoC trade while Pakistan continues to nurture terrorism…Does the Congress party support the Pakistani agenda that has been pronounced on many platforms of creating unrest in J&K?”
