Talking with the media persons here today he said we won't be entering into any prepoll alliance with any political party as we are considering to field our candidates on all the 87 assembly constituencies in the state Jammu and Kashmir. Grewal while expressing confidence that his party would replicate its recent performance in Haryana and Maharashtra elections in Jammu and Kashmir, he said that our party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was confident to win more than 44 seats in the State. Grewal stated that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will go beyond 44 seats and form the next government in Jammu and Kashmir and our party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would soon come out with the first list of its candidates as the Election Commission has announced the dates for assembly elections in the state. He said our focus would be on the candidates who are capable to win, those who have a clean image and who can deliver. The party's election committee will hold a meeting today to decide the names of the candidates. Grewal said the party wants to strengthen democracy in the state and its main poll plank would be to provide corruption free governance to the people. He told that our manifesto is clear, we will provide a corruption free, fear free and dynasty free governance to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We want the people of the state to give us a chance and if we fail they can throw us out after six years. Grewal said the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has increased many fold amongst the people of Kashmir especially the muslim population in Kashmir was keen to give Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) a chance in the state. He said the people in Kashmir, especially muslim population and have come closer to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He said the people in the valley have appreciated the efforts of Prime Minister in providing them relief and rehabilitation after the devastating floods. Grewal said now the common people of the state want Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to come and hold election rallies in the state and we are hopeful that he would oblige them. Grewal launched an attack on National Conference and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his opposition to the timing of holding assembly elections in the state. Grewal said Omar Abdullah has failed to deliver and like a student who knows he would fail in the exams and is afraid to face them and he too is aware that he would loose hence he objected to elections. Grewal said if voted to power his party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would resolve the long pending issues of the refugees from West Pakistan and the Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
