The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lost the confidence of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and it is a ship which will sink under its own weight, said National Conference (NC) senior leader Devender Singh Rana.
"The Lok Sabha elections 2019 and the subsequent polls to legislative assemblies will not only prove waterloo for the BJP but will witness the people's power of rejection with contempt in an immense measure," news agency PTI quoted Rana as saying while addressing series of workers' meetings in his Nagrota constituency on Monday.

"The BJP has lost the confidence of Jammu by betraying the people and exploiting them as a commodity. The acts of omission and commission, inaccessibility, nepotism, favouritism apart from misgovernance and compromising with the interests of the region during its misrule with the PDP will keep haunting politically conscious and sagacious people. They will rebind when their turn comes," he further said and added that the "day is not far when the sinking ship will sink under its own weight."
It is pertinent to mention here that the BJP formally withdrew its support from PDP on 19 June this year.
President Ram Nath Kovind announced Governor's Rule in J&K, plunging the state to its eighth Governor's Rule in just over four decades. Opposition parties criticised the move and said the same was taken keeping in mind the Lok Sabha elections 2019.
