| Praja Parishad rejects BSP’s offer on merger, favours alliance | | |
Jammu,July 22:-
The Praja Parishad,led by Chander
Mohan Sharma,has rejected the BSP offer for merging
with the organisation,headed by Ms Mayawati,in order
to facilitate repeating the Uttar Pradesh experiment
in Jammu and Kashmir during the next Assembly poll,due
in September-October 2008.
The idea of floating a BSP-Praja Parishad front,which
will be an alliance between the Dalits and the people
belonging to the upper casts,was discussed by Chander
Mohan with the BSP General secretary,Narender
Kashyap,who is incharge of the party affairs in Jammu
and Kashmir,here the other day.
The discussion was a followup of the Praja Parishad's
move to float the front for measuring swords with the
BJP,the Congress and the National Conference in the
next election in the state.Chander Mohan Sharma said
that the talks remained inconclusive and he has been
asked to come to Lucknow and finalise the alliance
arrangement with Ms Mayawati.
Mr Sharma said here today that he would leave for
Lucknow within next 10 to 15 days and in the meantime
he would discuss the offer of merger of Praja Parishad
with his party colleagues in Jammu.However,he made it
clear that he would not accept any merger because "we
want to retain the identity of Praja Parishad."
Inside reports said that since the equation between
the Congress and the BSP at the national level has
started becoming smooth the Congress may explore the
possibility of joining hands with the BSP in Jammu and
Kashmir.The need for going in Congress-BSP alliance
may arise once the alliance between the PDP and the
Congress gets ruptured.
Some National Conference leaders too favour electoral
adjustment with the BSP in the Jammu region which
could help the party led by Omar Abdullah to cause a
major dent to the Congress and the BJP.
