| After Goni's exit, panic stricken NC leadership all out to placate annoyed leaders | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 26: After one of the party stalwart quit the party, panic stricken National Conference leadership is taking every possible step to keep its flock together by pacifying all annoyed leaders. Decision of party stalwart Mohammad Aslam Goni to quit the party and to join Congress has given severe jolt the ruling National Conference. Party leadership has been trying to downplay exit of Goni by claiming that Goni lacks mass following but it is hard reality that he was stalwart of the party and former Political Secretary to the Union Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah, who is president of National Conference.
Goni, while formally joining Congress on October 21, had revealed that a number of National Conference leaders would follow his footsteps very soon. Goni had also availed that opportunity to indirectly attack Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his loyalists. Goni had praised Dr Farooq Abdullah but flayed Omar Abdullah for his immaturity.
Goni's disclosure in public has sent a shock wave among present National Conference leadership because those at the helm of the affairs of the party are aware that anger running high with in a faction in the party.
Highly placed sources in National Conference said that a party district president who was supposed to be removed from post very soon for opposing style of functioning of a big leader, was pacified by the leadership after Goni's episode. The annoyed leader was not only pacified but allotted the room where he was earlier sit appointed as district president.
Party insiders said that party leadership has been trying to keep all leaders in good humour because Goni has opened a flood gate and a number of annoyed leaders are likely to follow Goni's steps. "After Goni's exit one thing has become clear that doors of Congress and PDP are opened for National Conference leaders who have been feeling suffocated like Goni in the party", insiders said and added that many leaders have already sent their feelers to the Congress and waiting for the appropriate opportunity to act. |
