Karra said "I have been maintaining that our mark will cross 50 in Jammu and Kashmir. I am still hoping that the final results will be accordingly. Any person or political party who are on the page of keeping away the BJP, they are most welcomed. The nomination of the five MLA seats by the LG are pre-meditate, pre-conceived and pre-poll rigging. They have insulted the popular mandate and they just wanted to convert the majority into minority and vice versa."
Further, Karra added that it would be difficult to predict on what would happen in Haryana. "See, it is very difficult to predict on what would happen in Haryana next. We will have to wait for the final result. Our biggest mission here in Jammu Kashmir is to bring the statehood back," he said.
Karra is leading from the Central Shalteng Assembly constituency, by a margin of 10,263 votes, after round 9/13 of counting as per the latest EC data at 11:56 AM. (with Agency inputs)
