| Omar expected political self help for visiting Amethi | | Early Times Report | | JAMMU, Dec 19: Omar Abdullah is trying every political trick to stich an alliance with Congress before the election. He showed is desperation by accompanying Cong general secretary Rahul Gandhi to Amethi last week.
Rahul Gandhi had said Omar had shown keen interest in Self Help Groups working here (Amethi) and for it he had come here. PCC president Saif-ud-din Soz also accompanied here.
Rahul Gandhi had been going to Amethi for quite long time. He had even a dinner at the home of a Dalit girl in the past and had raked up their issue. However, the Chief Minister didn't deem it fit to see the Self-Help Groups working there.
Self Help Groups and more importantly Panchayats are working quite efficiently in Kerala and in other southern States. If Omar was interested in really gaining experience for the benefit of the people of the State he should have gone there.
However, the same Chief Minister was forced to empower Panchayats by the Cong and the Self Help Groups, which were created by the previous Government headed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed had been left infractous.
Had Omar been serious on this issue, he should have analysed the condition of the Self Help Groups in the State, which gave employment to the engineers and should have set them in order.
Omar had gone there just at time when he is feeling the heat at the home with his party fast slipping away. He visited there before raising the pitch for pre-poll alliance. He is going there in true tradition of Abdullah family which always pulls up trick of stiching alliance with the party, which his grand father once called the party of gutter people.
He feels that he can convince the Rahul Gandhi in stiching alliance. However, what he is missing that Cong, which itself is feeling political heat, would be very cautious before entering into an pre-poll alliance.
Rahul himself has felt it after the debacle in the UP and Bihar. He would take advise from senior Congress leader on this and dropped a broad hint by taking along PCC president Saif-ud-din Soz, whom Omar didn't like and had entered into verbal dual with him in the past also. |
