People find hard to digest Sagar's claim of NC getting majority in Assembly polls 7/22/2014 10:47:38 PM Shakeel A Khan SRINAGAR, July 22: People of the valley find it hard to digest the claims of the National Conference general secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar that his party is going to get the absolute majority in the coming assembly elections, forgetting the fact that the constituency he represents may also be clinched by the NC rivals. People of the valley strongly believe that the man from Khanyar has taken over the job from Mustafa Kamal whose business in his capacity as the additional general secretary of the National Conference was to come out with the imaginative statements which had nothing do with the reality. People say that the NC general secretary is misled as according to them it a reality that National Conference tasted the most humiliating defeat in the recently held parliamentary elections. People argue that when Omar Abdullah isn't sure as to where from to contest the assembly elections given the apprehensions of his defeat, where from is NC going to get the absolute majority? Experts say that if one goes by the performances of the NC led coalition over the last five and a half years, the general secretary of the National Conference would never talk of the absolute majority in the upcoming assembly elections. The people of the state particularly from the valley ask the NC general secretary that on what basis he is expecting the absolute majority for his party when the state under NC rule suffered a lot on all fronts, hence pushing the state, particularly the Kashmir Valley, to the "primitive" times. Some people from Srinagar while sharing their ideas with the Early Times said, "It is because of this party that the valley is going through the turbulent times, where one finds only graveyards with thousands, including innocents, buried in them." As per these people, the sad picture that Jammu and Kashmir presents is because of the wrong policies of the National Conference and the allegedly rigged elections of the 1987 is the testimony to this fact. According to these people, it is the particular year of 1987 when people opted for the change in the political representation. "We negate the claims of the NC general secretary. What has NC done over the years in terms of the development of the state where things have worsened instead of improving? Kashmir has become the dumping site and nothing more than that during the NC rule," said Zahoor Ahmad from Srinagar while talking to Early Times. As per Zahoor, by issuing such statements, the general secretary of the National Conference is trying to keep him and his party in high spirits as the party has no reasons to cheer about.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
