Mehbooba worried over `hobnobbing' within party Directs legislators to stay away from `aastin ka saanp' 11/18/2015 12:38:52 AM Early Times Report JAMMU, Nov 17: The PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has taken a serious view of some party legislators hobnobbing with a senior leader of the party whom Mehbooba loyalists call `Aastin ka saanp', who has been issuing critical statements against the party and for its alliance with the BJP. According to the sources the senior leader of the party has roped in about seven-to-eight PDP MLAs and they are in constant touch with them. Sources said the senior leader is using them and asking them to pressurise the party to give him a prominent place in the Government and issuing veiled threat of breaking away from the party. "The PDP president had issued strict-bordering threat- to these MLAs to desist from holding secret meetings and not indulge in anti-party activities or a strict action would be taken," said the sources, privy to the developments. According to the sources, the senior leader, who has been feeling sidelined for quite some time and aiming for top position in the Government, though can't hold it as he is not MLA, has been maneuvering the backroom development, has promised these PDP MLAs of prominent position or some valuable favours to it. "These MLAs are not getting to the eventuality of Mehbooba Mufti getting the Government as they are not in her good books so they have been roped in by the senior leader, but the party president has got a whiff about it and this has unsettled them and are starting to fall in line," said the sources. Party sources said the senior leader though making backroom games has made clear that the hierarchy of the party will not be changed for some.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
