He noted that Lotus attracted 4,87,364 votes which are even more than the votes polled to National Conference, PDP and Congress together which is 2,82,51, 55,789 and 1,39,382 respectively. The message is loud and clear that the people have rejected the Gupkar Gang.
Vbodh Gupta said that this victory is the mandate given by the people of Jammu and Kashmir against the negative politics of Gupkar Gang and the historic blunders and injustices done by the previous National Conference, PDP and Congress governments with the people of J&K.

There is a long way to go. We have already started working on strengthening the party organization based on the DDC election result in the valley, Vibodh said.
