SRINAGAR: Minister for Higher Education and National Conference candidate for Sonawari constituency Muhammad Akbar Lone Tuesday admitted that stone-pelting incidents in the constituency bar his supporters to cast votes in favour of National Conference. Yes, stone-pelting incidents in the constituency always affected me and my supporters, Lone told CNS and added that he has no power or authority to stop stone-pelting incidents in Sonawari Constituency.

Reshi is nowhere in race and I am telling you with authority that I will win the seat with a big margin. I have inputs that people in different areas in constituency voted for me and I will defeat my nearest rival, Congress candidate with a big margin, he claimed.
Lone added that people voted for development and he (Lone) was wholly and solely responsible for the development of his constituency. (CNS)
