Antony blasts BJP's stand on J & K

Abrogation of the special status to Kashmir would only encourage divisive tendencies when the need of the hour was to promote the emotional unity, he said.  

Antony exuded confidence that the UPA would come to power for a third time with the support of secular forces that are keen to avoid the “danger” of BJP under Narendra Modi assuming power.

“I am quite confident that the UPA will again come to power.

As had happened in 2004 and 2009, secular parties which are even fighting the Congress now will support the party to lead a government after the polls,” he said.

Dismissing predictions that BJP is the front runner in the elections, Antony said Congress was still strong in many states and it would notch a good number of seats to lead the next government.
