| Congress to keep 'all options' open on sharing power after poll results in J&K | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 15 : Reports from New Delhi indicated that the party high command has plans of accepting the demand of the state unit of the Congress for contesting the ensuing Assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir without any pre-poll alliance with the National Conference. "The decision of the NC to contest all the 87 Assembly seats has lent credence to these reports sources said adding, " since the NC leadership has decided to field candidates from all the 87 Assembly segments it has indicated that the NC does not want to waste time after its main political rival, the PDP, has selected candidates for all the seats who even have started campaigning in their respective constituencies." "All this has heated political atmosphere within the state across the three regions, sources said Reports said that the state Congress leaders, who had met senior party leaders in New Delhi, had succeeded in persuading the party high command ongoing alone in the Assembly election. Sources added that once it was done it could provide an ample chance to the Congress to share power either with the NC or with the PDP because most of the Congress leaders believe that the coming election will throw up a hung House warranting formation of a coalition Government. However, a couple Congress leaders said that nothing final has been decided. They believed that the announcement of the plan of the NC to contest from all the 87 constituencies was simply part of the strategy to force the Congress high command to take decision on pre-poll alliance at its earliest. These Congress leaders said that the party high command was weighing all the pros and cons of a pre-poll alliance with the NC after its bitter experience during the Lok Sabha election when the Congress lost all the three seats it had fielded its candidates. But the NC leadership does not own any responsibility for the rout of the Congress in Jammu and Ladakh seats because the NC too had drawn blank from the three seats it had contested in the Kashmir valley |
