| BJP's Mission 44 plus in danger? | | Ram Madhav visits Kashmir, looks for allies; meets Sajad Lone, others | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Nov 1: Fearing that Bharatiya Janta Party may not be able to achieve its Mission 44 plus in Jammu and Kashmir, the party has started sending its emissaries to the Valley to look for the allies and motivate them to enter into a "secret pact" with the party.
Sources told Early Times that the National General Secretary of the party Ram Madhav had visited Kashmir on Friday and met the leaders of the several small parties and held deliberations about the forthcoming Assembly polls with them.
An insider said that Madhav called on the chairman of the Peoples Conference Sajad Gani Lone here and discussed various issue with him. Sajad, according to the sources... | |

Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 1: Fed up with the anti-Jammu attitude of the Kashmiri leaders, Congress leaders have decided to expose their "misdeeds" and biases towards the region.
A few days after Irrigation and PHE Minister Sham Lal Sharma tendered his resignation from the state cabinet and blamed the NC ministers for sabotaging his move to regularize the daily wagers, his elder brother and senior Congress leader Madan Lal Sharma came in support of his brother raising the slogan of "Jammu First."
Taking a dig at the Valley based parties, Sharma said, "All the Valley based parties have only one agenda i.e. to appease separatists and follow the anti-national policies as it helps them... | |
| | | | Rift in Congress may prevent party from sharing power after the 2014 poll in J&K | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 1: A number of mainstream political parties may face trial time once the allotment of tickets to candidates for contesting the ensuing Assembly election is finalized. Indications are that a number of party activists and junior leaders are preparing to contest the election either as rebel candidates or as independent candidates once they fail to get the party mandate.
As far as the state unit of the Congress is concerned the tussle for supremacy between the faction owing allegiance to the PCC chief, Saif-ud-Din Soz and the other loyal to the former Union Health Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, may assume new dimensions. This is so because reports have started su... | |
| | | | Fearing defeat in Jammu, Congress eyes on Kashmir for electoral fortunes | | | | Bashir Assad
SRINAGAR, Nov 1: While conceding defeat much before the elections, Congress party has shifted its focus on Kashmir valley. The Congress had won 13 out of 17 seats in the last assembly elections.
Though it is facing anti-incumbency in Kashmir valley too, perhaps bigger than its size, Congress still focuses on valley to improve its tally from present three to at least seven. However, the political observers attribute Congress party adventurism to its frustration that has gripped the party due to Modi wave in Jammu.
In any case, the grand old national party, somehow wants to improve its tally in Kashmir which could compensate its prospective loses in Jammu region." We are hopef... | |
| | | | CM's decision to quit Ganderbal a bad omen for NC | | Level of unpopularity | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 1: The ruling NC's poll managers on Friday had finally committed a grave political blunder by making the party's working president and J&K CM Omar Abdullah to quit the Abdullah family's pocket borough, Ganderbal, and seek election from two other constituencies - Sonawar and Beerwah. It was an unwise political decision, as it sent a message across the state in general and Kashmir valley in particular that Omar Abdullah, if asked to seek re-election from Ganderbal, would suffer a massive defeat.
The "politically and strategically unwise decision" only vindicated those who had been saying again and gain that Omar Abdullah had turned extremely unpopular because o... | |
| | | | J&K not the only state to elect its constituent assembly | | Misinformation campaign | | | Neha
Jammu, Nov 1: The votaries of the state's separation from India, including NC leaders and separatists, say that since J&K was a disputed territory, its people were given the right to set up their own constituent assembly and decide the state's political future as per their wishes. Only the other day, they put forth this nasty view. They were absolutely wrong and their whole propaganda is mischievous and ill-motivated.
Indeed, it is true that it was accepted that the states and the Unions of the States would institute their own Constituent Assemblies to draw up the constitutions for their Governments. It is also true that the state ministry (read Home Ministry of Government of India)... | |

Jammu, Nov 1: It seems that there is no end to troubles for the state unit of Congress presently as the exodus of its leaders from the organization one after another has become a routine affair ever since it received a crushing defeat in Lok Sabha polls in J&K as well as other parts of the country.
In a fresh jolt to the party, a young leader and State Secretary Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) R S Pathania, who has a strong footing in Ramnagar Assembly Constituency, today joined Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).
With top, middle and lower rung leaders prefer to say good bye to the grand old party of the country, it looks like that the top brass of the Congress has no ways and... | |

Jammu, Nov 1: Notwithstanding the tall claims of the police authorities in Jammu of tightening noose against eve teasers and providing sufficient security to the women, the girl students of one of the premier schools at Miran Sahib are regularly facing harassment for the past several months, whereas local police allegedly is encouraging the offenders just by showing its inaction in this regard, sources alleged.
Sources from Miran Sahib area informed that two boys identified namely as Sourabh and Sunny have been allegedly harassing girl students of the school for the past several months, wherein they not only use to pass lewd remarks to girl students and female faculty members ... | |

Jammu, Nov 1: The upcoming assembly elections in Jammu & Kashmir are very crucial for the state in general and Jammu province in particular. In fact, these elections provide a historic opportunity for them to elect a Government of their own choice. They are intelligent enough to elect their representatives. There should be no doubt about it that they would make a right choice and elect a Government that treats all the three regions of the state equally and delivers.
These elections are all the more significant for the people of Jammu province whose complaint all along had been that they were not given their due share in the state's political processes and all those who ruled the st... | |
