"The candidates who have the blessing of BJP will emerge victorious on three Lok Sabha seats of Kashmir Valley", Raina said and claimed that the BJP has a strong base in different parts of the Valley.

Raina reiterates demand to postpone the Anantnag-Rajouri poll

He said that the decision for the deferment of elections for the Anantnag-Rajouri seat has to be taken by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

He said there is a lone Mughal road that connects Anantnag in Kashmir with the Rajouri and Poonch districts of Jammu and due to inclement weather and the snowfall it remains closed. The snowfall is still going on there due to which Peer Ki Gali and Mughal roads are still closed.

"The ECI has asked the Jammu and Kashmir government to submit a report in this regard", he said.
