| Crises in coalition over new administrative units: With Farooq's intervention respectable solution on cards | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 16: Official handout issued by the Government is a clear indication that two coalition partners-National Conference and Congress, are going to solve controversial issue of creating new administrative units amicably.
According to an official handout, "In partial modification of the previous Government Notice, the Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted for examining the creation of new administrative units in the State will interact with the general public of Leh and Kargil districts on January 16, 2014 at 11 am at the State Guest House, Jammu".
Important to mention here that earlier the State Government had setup January 15 as deadline before the Cabinet Sub-Committee to submit its report but now the Committee will meet representatives of Leh and Kargil districts on January 16.
Extension of the tenure of Committee is an indication of solution of this issue.
Constitution of new administrative units has become a bone of contention between two coalition partners and this issue has potential to rock the coalition so Central leadership of both the parties are trying to find middle way.
Sources from the corridors of powers Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is all prepared to take extreme step on the issue to create new administrative units. It was all due to the "valuable" suggestions of his "wise" advisors that Omar Abdullah was thinking to even snap ties with Congress on this issue. Chief Minister's "wise" advisors arguing that breakup with the Congress on the issue of administrative units would give immense political benefits to the National Conference in the coming Assembly elections.
Sources disclosed that Union Minister of New and Renewal Energy Dr Farooq Abdullah has intervened to solve the problem. "It is all due to the intervention of Dr Farooq Abdullah that State leadership of National Conference has shown some flexibility on this issue", sources said and added that Dr Farooq Abdullah argued that breakup between two parties at this time was not in the interests of National Conference because its arch rival PDP was eagerly waiting for this development.
Our correspondent from Delhi adds: Some senior leaders of the Congress brought this matter to the notice of Dr Farooq Abdullah and sought his intervention to solve the crises. Congress high command does not want to give any wrong message before Lok Sabha elections so intervention of Dr Farooq Abdullah was sought to find a respectable way. |
