| 'Pro-Jammu' party set to project a Kashmiri as its CM face | | Jammu to be ditched yet again | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 14: Jammu region that has been the victim of a ruthless discrimination at all fronts is set to witness one more betrayal, as the party that used to claim representing region's aspirations is planning to field a Kashmiri as its chief ministerial candidate.
As per reports making rounds, a political group that has failed to stitch any alliance for the formation of a government in the state is planning to field a Kashmir-based politician as its CM candidate. Through such a measure, the Jammu region will once again be left in the lurch with merge chances of getting its due share out of the exchequer and state's resources any time soon.
The candidate whom the national level party is planning to project as its CM face is a legislator from north Kashmir and his party has two seats in the lower house of the state. It is worthwhile to note that there have been no solid reasons given by the party to project this Kashmiri politician as its CM face during the assembly elections which are likely to happen next year in April.
Early Times has already reported that the dissolution of the state assembly is on cards and that any time soon the Governor may dissolve the state legislature and pave way for the next assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
Pertinently, BJP toppled the government in the state and took away support from its coalition partner PDP on June 19 when leaders of the former congregated at New Delhi and announced withdrawal of support in a press conference. Jammu and Kashmir came under Governor's rule the next day, June 20. Since then, speculations were rife that various political groups are holding insidious talks with the BJP to form the government. Amongst them was the rebel group of the PDP-led by Imran Ansari and his uncle Abid Ansari. There were also couple of MLCs of the party who publicly announced their support to the rebel group.
Imran Ansari had time and again claimed that there are chances of the BJP and his rebel group forming the government once again in the state and that he has the support of at least 23 PDP legislators. The total strength of the PDP in the lower house of the state is 27.
Meanwhile, as dissolution of the state assembly is likely to happen within no time, it seems that attempts of various political groups including the BJP to form the government have failed miserably and the central government too seem to have understood that it is serving no purpose to keep the state legislature in limbo.
State Governor Satya Pal Malik had already stated that he will first explore options over whether there are any chances that a popular government could be formed in the state and if he doesn't come across any, he will take measures for the dissolution of the state assembly without any delay. The latter seems to be a practical option for now. |
