SRINAGAR, Apr 23: Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti today said that her father Late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is not with her but his supporters are still there to ensure her win
She exuded confidence that people will once again vote her to ensure her victory.
After casting vote in Bijbehara area of Anantnag district, Mehbooba said, “This time my father Late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is not with me but his workers who have worked for him are still there.”
“I hope the workers of my father will ensure my victory in this election,” Mehbooba told reporters.
Asked about low voter turnout in the polls today in Bijbehara, which is her home town, Mehbooba said, “I am hopeful of good results.”
Mehbooba is among the 18 candidates who are in fray for South Kashmir Lok Sabha constituency.
Earlier in previous 2014 parliamentary elections, Mehbooba emerged victorious but later after the death of Mufti, she resigned and took oath as first woman chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir.
The parliamentary by-election for the Anantnag was not held since then keeping in view of the deteriorating situation in South Kashmir.
