As already expected, the Congress veteran Yashpal Sharma today came open to express his anger as he filed his nomination papers for the assembly by-elections as independent candidate against the official nominee of the party.
Sharma was accompanied by hundreds of his supporters when he filed nomination papers before the Returning officer in Poonch. With his filing of nomination papers, the Congress party comes face-to-face with the first organizational failure in keeping its flock together.
Besides Sharma, nine other candidates today filed their nomination papers for the by-elections to Poonch assembly constituency. Raising tempo of the electioneering, Ajaz Jaan of the National Conference and Jahangir Mir of the Congress also filed their nomination papers. Among others were Pardeep Sharma of BJP while Satish Kumar Sharma filed papers as his covering candidate. One Janak Singh is from Kissan Mazdoor Party. Iftikhar Ahmed, Shah Mohammad Tantrey and Syed Nissar Hussain Shah have filed their nomination papers as independent candidates.
