| Kashmir based parties indulge in political tug-of-war, people disillusioned | | | |
Srinagar, Nov 24: Kashmir-based political parties have shifted their focus from addressing the immediate concerns of the common man to engaging in a power play, each claiming to be the sole viable option for the people.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “ A different kind of battle is unfolding in Kashmir, one that is less about the everyday struggles of the people and more about political supremacy. Traditional parties, such as National Conference (NC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and others are vying for attention by emphasizing their historical significance and claiming to be the only remedy for the region’s challenges.”
“The rhetoric has taken a turn away from the pressing issues that touch the lives of the common man. Instead of addressing issues of a common man, political leaders are choosing to raise the pitch on the importance of their return to power. This shift in focus seems to be a strategic move to divert attention from their failure to deliver on promises made in the past,” he added.
