| PDP falling like pack of cards | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 14: Peoples Democratic Party is falling like a pack of cards. One by one the leaders and workers are saying goodbye to the party and are moving ahead.
Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and the party president Mehbooba Mufti is looking for "out of box ideas" to keep her party intact. But nothing seems to be working out in her favour. During the past few days five PDP leaders, including three legislators, have parted ways. "Desperate attempts of Mehbooba Mufti to keep her party intact are not working out. People who are quitting her party are making the PDP leadership realize how the party ditched them when it shared power with the BJP in the state," said a politician.
He said that the PDP President should recollect how she ignored the party leaders and the workers when she was holding the top post. "It seems when Mehbooba was in power she had forgotten the people who had worked overtime to make her rule the state. She remaining inaccessible to her own people and well wishers is one of the reasons that has brought PDP on the cross roads," the politician added.
He said that many PDP loyalists from Jammu region have already deserted the party due to the "anti-Jammu" agenda of the PDP. "The party leaders in Kashmir are also following the footsteps of their counterparts in Jammu," the politician added.
It may be recalled that after the sudden fall of the PDP-BJP government in the state in June this year the PDP dissidents raised the banner of revolt against the party leadership and brought to fore how they were being treated by the party top brass. When PDP was in power the party was run by a few selected family members of the PDP president Mehbooba Mufti. Scams involving the family members of the then Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti were pushed under the carpet.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said that recently Mehbooba Mufti raked up the issue of granting divisional status to Ramban, Doda, Kishtwar, Poonch and other districts which are a part of a Jammu division. "She played that card to create confusion in Jammu and polarize the environment. The PDP top brass playing a religious card was a desperate move aimed at diverting the attention from the collective failures of the party," he said.
The analyst claimed that PDP has lost its base in Kashmir as well as Jammu region and the PDP top brass is in mess due to the wrong policies which it followed during its tenure. |
