| For a change, Mehbooba, Omar spend weekend talking Congress | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 14: Going for a change, the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party leaders spend the Sunday tweeting about their former ally in the state government -Congress.
Former Chief Ministers Mehbooba Mufti and her counterpart from NC, Omar Abdullah looked concerned about Congress.
Reacting to reports that three of the 10 Congress lawmakers in Goa who switched to the BJP earlier this week have found a place in the Cabinet, Mehbooba said that 'Congress free bharat' is just an excuse for disempowering and stifling other political parties.
'Is this the new definition of democracy,' Mufti, who is the president of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), asked.
'Showing complete disregard for people's mandate. That too in the most brazen manner possible. Is this the new definition of democracy? Congress mukt Bharat is just an excuse for disempowering & stifling other political parties,' Mufti wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
Omar was also active the same way, as if it was a competition between the two parties to show concern about Congress.
Reacting to Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu's resignation from the Punjab cabinet, Omar Abdullah said that Congress even cannot help themselves in a state where they are well placed.
''The one state where the Congress is well placed & even here they can't help themselves. Oh to be in the BJP right now with the principal opposition party imploding all around them,'' Mr Abdullah, who is the vice-president of National Conference (NC), wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
It is pertinent to mention that PDP had been unwilling to form government with the Congress and had subsequently formed alliance with the BJP.
But sources said after the collapse of the PDP-BJP alliance the party had improved ties with the Congress, giving sleepless nights to NC which is also any ally of the national party.
Observers said by showing concern towards the Congress the twin parties want to show in Kashmir that they are against BJP.
"But the fact is both parties have been allies of the BJP, so this is drama. Is Hamam Mein Sabh Nangey," said a political analyst.
Despite repeated attempts the leaders from NC or PDP couldn't be contacted for comments. |
