| NC's innovation: road shows to determine aspirants' strengths | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Nov 3
With Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party caught up in their own feud, the National Conference is chalking out strategy for its polls campaign as its top leaders, the father-son duo have finally pulled up their socks to take up the challenge.
Away from their internal lack of coordination, Omar is holding forte in Srinagar while Farooq remained engrossed with the party leaders in Jammu today.
As the ticket seekers make a beeline at Omar and Farooq's places, the National Conference think tanks have come up with an innovative strategy of holding the road shows –which is also a beginning of the poll campaign. The local leaders in every constituency and more prominently the ticket seekers have been asked to mobilize crowds for the road shows and public meetings to be addressed by the Farooq, Omar and other senior party leaders both in Kashmir and Jammu region.
Sources said that instead of referring the names of aspirants to mandate committees, their stakes shall be determined on their strengths in pulling the public. The mass contact program in Jammu region is being launched from December 1.
NC Chief, Omar Abdullah, will initiate the mass contact programme from either Bani or Billawar in Kathus. The mass contact programme will cover all the 37 Assembly constituencies.
NC provincial president Ajay Sadhotra said "till date we have decided to contest the next election alone. At present there is no possibility of having some electoral understanding with the Congress. He said that since the performance of the coalition
Government has been disastrous in all sectors it would definitely help the National Conference on the plea that no other organization, except the NC, had firm roots in the state which could pose a threat to the Congress and the PDP. He claimed that the NC would perform far better in the next poll that it did in 2002."We expect the NC to get absolute majority and the ant incumbency factor will favour us". |
