‘Polarisation in state real worry’

Excerpts from an interview with Raj Chengappa, Editor-in-Chief, The Tribune Group of Newspapers:

Are you worried about a fractured verdict?

We are going to get a clear majority. I am worried about the polarisation of the state because the BJP has introduced this trick to consolidate non-Muslim votes in Jammu and in reaction to what perhaps something else is going to happen, because Mufti Sahib has always worked for building up a Jammu and Srinagar axis. You cannot connect Jammu and Kashmir with India unless you repair this gap between Jammu and Kashmir.
