| Opposition of NC to emergence of PUF exposes chink in its armour: Brig Gupta | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 21: The recently concluded pre-poll alliance between the Awami Ittihad Party (AIP) of Engineer Rasheed and newly launched political outfit Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Movement (JKPM) of Shah Faesal, IAS officer turned politician has not gone well with the leadership of National Conference since the rise of a viable alternative does not suit the political ambition of the party to form the next government in the state on its own asserted Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party. After the rout of PDP in the just concluded parliamentary elections, the NC leadership felt emboldened and began to daydream as well as mislead the public through tall claim of "forming strong, stable Govt in J&K on own", riding on the TINA (There is No Alternative) factor, stated Brig Gupta. However, the emergence of Peoples United Front (PUF) has upset the applecart of NC, which is scared of contesting the election with a viable alternative available to the people as claimed by the leaders of PUF, asserted Brig Gupta.
Undoubtedly, PUF along with other parties will be contesting for the limited political space available in the Valley, since the alliance has not even a toehold in the Jammu and Ladakh regions. The frustration of NC leadership is evident from the statements made by them condemning the formation of PUF and terming it "as another step to divide votes in Kashmir," as if division of votes in a democracy is a taboo, stated Brig Gupta. Irony is that after securing mere 10 percent votes in the last election held and declining vote share in all previously held elections, NC leadership still claims that "Only the NC is acceptable to the people of the state and they will vote for it." NC deserves full marks for over-confidence, least realising that the same has been the major cause of its downfall, asserted Brig Gupta. |
