Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, July 4: The National Conference and the PDP – major constituents of the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration – said on Monday that the grouping will jointly contest the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
“We will contest the elections together. There is a political party that said that they have left the alliance. The truth is that they were never part of the alliance. They had come to break us from within,” National Conference president Farooq Abdullah, who heads the PAGD, told reporters here.
Similar sentiments were expressed by PDP president and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti earlier in the day.
“We intend to contest the elections together as it is the will of the people that we should strive together for the restoration of our lost dignity,” Mehbooba said.
Responding to a question, Abdullah said elections can be held whenever the Government wants.
“Elections were held when we had floods. Why can’t elections be held now? The question is how they want to contest the polls,” the former chief minister added.
