Independent candidate Shabir Ahmed Kullay from South Kashmir's Shopian has reacted to the outcome of the recent Rajya Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured one of the four seats amid allegations of cross-voting, prompting Kullay to express disappointment over the results.
The people of Kashmir have always remained loyal to regional political parties, but those very parties have repeatedly betrayed their trust.
Kullay questioned the integrity of some lawmakers whose unexpected votes tilted the balance in favour of the BJP.
Kullay seeks identification of cross-voters in the election.
