From Rajouri party has given mandate to Shabir Ahmad Khan, former minister who was forced to resign after allegations of sexual harassment were leveled against him by a lady doctor.

According to party sources despite receiving complaints against the sitting legislators and earning bad name for the party high command succumbed to the diktats of faction ridden state unit. An impression has been given by the party high command that it made efforts to balance the list of candidates by retaining close aides of both Ghulam Nabi Azad and PCC Chief Saifuddin Soz. In the process the party failed to show exit door to some of the tainted legislators who served as ministers in the Omar Abdullah led coalition government. The party ministers faced allegations from their own party leaders as they often complained against them and warned the partyhigh command against giving them the mandate.
