| After first phase of polling, Kamaal disapproves pre polls alliance with Congress | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Apr 12: With first phase of polling for the ensuing Parliamentary elections over, National Conference additional general secretary Mustafa Kamaal has expressed his open resentment against party's decision to enter into a pre poll alliance with Congress with whom it run a coalition Government in the state.
"I was never in favour of pre-poll alliance with Congress. Our alliance with Congress would neither benefit us nor Congress and it may prove an unprofitable deal for both the parties," Sheikh Mustafa Kamaal said today.
He said Congress could have easily forged an alliance with People's Democratic Party but it opted for NC because PDP 'ditched' Ghulam Nabi Azad's Government in 2008.
"I had my reservations about forging pre-poll alliance with Congress but it was collective decision of the party and I accepted that. I know that 'deal' is not profitable and it may prove unproductive for both the parties," Kamaal said.
He claimed that PDP was eager to have a pre-poll alliance with Congress.
Kamaal admitted that there are differences of opinion on various issues between NC and Congress. He said: if voted to power, NC would try its best to implement the recommendations of Justice Sagheer report on which consensus continues to elude the ruling coalition on certain critical recommendations.
"The primary issue in the report, dealing with autonomy of J&K, is the main reason of confrontation between the coalition partners. There is difference of opinion among the members of the Cabinet Sub Committee, particularly with regard to the recommendation of restoration of Autonomy. We are still in power and our party will ensure that these recommendations be implemented in letter and spirit," Kamaal said. |
