Omar points out reasons which are working against NC Absence of Farooq Abdullah 11/11/2014 11:31:05 PM Rustam Early Times Report JAMMU, Nov 11: NC working president and J&K CM Omar Abdullah has acknowledged that he and his party are facing tough times and that there is no other star campaign in the party, except he himself. Omar Abdullah, who is virtually sitting on the demise of the Kashmir's premier political organization (founded by his grandfather Sheikh Abdullah at the behest of Jawaharlal Nehru on June 11, 1939 to weaken Maharaja Hari Singh, a nationalist), is so candid that he himself has catalogued all the factors which are working against his outfit and suggest that the NC is fighting for its very survival. Commenting on the current election scenario in the state, Omar Abdullah has said: "I am not in denial mode. I am fighting the coming election all alone. I have no ally. My father (Farooq Abdullah) is unwell. (Farooq Abdullah has gone to London for kidney surgery.) He is not there to guide me. He will not campaign for the NC. The NC doesn't have many star campaigners. I have to campaign for the party in all the 87 Assembly constituencies. My single-point agenda is to lead the party in the election. The Congress didn't allow the coalition to settle fully. I faced many difficulties. The Congress created difficulties for me. I couldn't achieve what I wanted to. I wanted revocation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA). Home Minister P Chidambaram backed me to the hilt on this issue, but the UPA Government buckled under BJP pressure and scuttled the move." Not only this, Omar Abdullah further said: "J&K is a difficult State. It has three distinct regions. Jammu is Hindu majority. Ladakh is Buddhist majority. The BJP could perform well both in Jammu and Ladakh. The BJP has many star campaigners. The Modi wave is there. Modi has galvanized the BJP in the State. There are four-cornered contests in Kashmir. The BJP could achieve its mission. The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is helping the BJP. Voters are the chief determinants. It is for them to appreciate or not appreciate my work as Chief Minister". Omar Abdullah deserves appreciation for his admissions. He should be appreciated all the more because he has finally realized that the state of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh is not an ordinary State and it consists of three distinct regions. Now that Omar Abdullah has himself admitted that he is working against all odds, it would not be difficult to predict what is in store for the NC. Had Farooq Abdullah been keeping well, the plight of the NC would have been that miserable.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
