Blame Game | | | Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD)-an amalgam of Kashmir centric parties-has started alleging that the official machinery is helping the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in the ongoing District Development Council polls. The PAGD, which used to claim that it will fight for the rights of the people and power is not its aim is behaving like a cry baby. It seems that so-called powerful alliance is fearing that it is on the weak wicket after the end of the five phases of the DDC elections that's why it's levelling wild allegations against the administration. When the PAGD announced its decision to contest the DDC polls, its leaders had claimed that the alliance will sweep the elections and other parties won't even figure in the competition. But the voting trends in the first five phases of the DDC polls indicate that the PAGD may not even find it easy in Kashmir, which the alliance has been projecting as its citadel. Despite Kashmir centric parties coming together to fight the DDC polls and forming an amalgam to get the Article 370 back, not many people have come forward to support it. These Kashmir centric leaders have lost their credibility due to them indulging in mere rhetoric and raising hollow slogans. People are aware of the fact that Article 370 will never come back again and they have accepted the change in status-quo gracefully. But the PAGD leaders have kept this option open and are trying to tell the people that nothing is impossible. It appears that these leaders were hoping that people would vote for them blindly. But it appears the issue raised by these Kashmir centric leaders has failed to attract the voters towards the PAGD. One cannot predict the results of the DDC polls so early but one thing is for sure that the PAGD leaders are not that confident of their victory anymore. The PAGD had decided that one candidate of the alliance will contest from each DDC constituency but the NC, PDP and activists of other parties who were not given the mandate filled the forms as independent candidates and contested these polls. So it means that the PAGD candidates are facing a stiff competition even within from inside. The PDP and NC leaders should stop levelling baseless allegations against the administration. They should sit back and introspect rather than indulging in a blame game. |
