| SP to contest 51 seats in JK assembly polls | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Feb
The Samajwadi Party today said it would contest 51 out of 87 assembly seats in the state.
The SP will put up candidates on 51 of the 87 constituencies of the state in the upcoming elections, state unit president Sheikh Abdul Rehman told reporters in Srinagar.
He claimed that mid-term polls were likely in the state as there were a lot of differences between the Congress and PDP, both coalition partners.
"The mid-term elections are also likely in Jammu and Kashmir as there are lot of differences between Congress and PDP, but they are together only to share power," said president Sheikh Abdul Rehman.
Referring to the PDP demand for demilitarisation and withdrawal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act, Sheikh alleged PDP leader Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was instrumental in sending troops to the state in 1990 when he was union home minister.
He alleged that despite the Ghulam Nabi Azad-led government obtaining maximum funds from the Centre for development of the state, they went down the drain. |
