Did J&K have two Govts or just one run by coalition? | | | Early Times Report Jammu, Oct 28: Former Chief Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad has finally conceded that giving six full year's to the NC for the CM's post had been a blunder the Congress made in 2008. The NC has returned the left-handed compliment by saying Azad and his party did not favour to the NC giving it the six year's as the CM. The NC said it had 28 seats after the elections and therefore the Congress with 17 seats had no option. This war of attrition between the NC and the Congress followed Sham Lal Sharma's resignation from the Cabinet alleging the NC senior leader and Finance Minister had sabotaged the regularization of daily/contractual workers by delaying the financial clearance before the imposition of the model code of conduct. The NC again reacted sharply by blaming Sham Lal Sharma for trying to deceive the people and offering to resign after completing six years in office as the Minister. Even before the two parties decided to part ways to fight elections on their own without forging an electoral alliance. The acrimony between the Congress and the NC had been there much before the cracks started becoming visible to the people. The coalition Government worked at cross purpose to each other because of political constituencies being different for both of them. Now that the NC has been criticising Azad the final bell for the separation of the two parties had rung. It is a well known fact that it was Ghulam Nabi Azad who cobbled up an alliance between the NC and his party. It was Azad who ensured that the NC gets its cake to eat and keep it too. There is perhaps no way to bridge the gap between the two parties after the NC decided to take on Azad and vice versa. Politics has its compulsions but sensing trouble makes politicians panic in times of crisis. That the NC and the Congress seem to have panicked is obvious the way they are trying to blame each other for their falling political fortunes. Instead of trying to brace up for the real fight with their arch rivals in the BJP and the PDP, the two parties are out on a campaign blaming each other. The fact is that the coalition Government has failed, if those who ran it for six years believe it has failed. Instead of trying to find fault with each other, these parties should have honestly accepted collective responsibility, but there is no collective responsibility in politics. |
