SRINAGAR, June 1: Coalition partners, National conference and Congress which received a drubbing during the 2014 parliamentary elections are looking for reasons to stay alive on the political front. The leaders of this coalition keep on changing colors these days.
Both these parties are going through the toughest of the times on account of their shameful defeat in 2014 parliamentary elections. It is the compulsions which hold these parties together otherwise there is no coalition on the moral grounds.
The leaders of these parties lost calm many a times and came openly against each other which stands proved given the statements and counter statements of the coalition leaders against each other ending all speculations about their future alliance.
"National conference and Congress have no regards for each other. Such is their greed for the power that the leaders of these parties can bear with the abuses of each other," said some people at Srinagar.
Farooq Abdullah is disappointed and at the same time grieved as well the way NC lost all the three parliamentary seats from the Kashmir valley. But it is actually the defeat of elder Abdullah which broke the back of the National Conference and the party clearly stands disintegrated.
Same is the case with Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress whose camp was struck by a bolt of lightning as Ghulam Nabi Azad, the face of the party, also lost his seat though quite unexpectedly at the hands of the people of little known on the political front.
"Ghulam Nabi Azad and Farooq Abdullah are the prime faces of the coalition parties. People did not spare even them. This particular fact will never allow these parties to come to the terms as there are no people around them, in the state or at the center, who can sympathize with them," said Zahoor Ahmad from Hyderpora,Srinagar.
Had National Conference been able to retain the Srinagar seat, it would have been able to dominate its coalition partner. Likewise, had Ghulam Nabi Azad won, it would have given the party workers to have their say.
But the fact is that both the parties have equally, heavily and immensely in the terms that all the candidates of these parties lost both from Jammu and Kashmir divisions, prime faces of these parties lost their seats and both these parties got the ever least share of votes. Now these parties are taking decisions out of compulsions and frustration.
"The coalition parties now want to capitalize on the opportunity before the assembly elections take place. It is the hopelessness of the coalition partners which compels them to announce measures and packages to trap the people, particularly the youth of the state," said Gulzar Ahmad from Budgam. |
