| Cracks surface in BJP over SMC ties! | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 25: The Jammu and Kashmir chapter of the Bharatiya Janta Party is allegedly divided over the issue of support to Mayor in the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC).
Sources said while a section of BJP leaders from Jammu and their like-minded in Kashmir were in support of the electing a new Mayor, a particular BJP leader from Kashmir was supporting the previous one.
Sources said one of the senior leaders of BJP from Kashmir was in support of the previous mayor.
Sources said the said BJP leader had been in contact with some of the SMC corporators personally known to him and wanted them to vote for the former mayor at the recently held floor test in Srinagar.
Sources said the BJP leader from Kashmir had expressed his reservation in “support for the man, who had been booked on charges of loan scam.”
Sources said the BJP leader had even got in touch with the pervious mayor and had expressed hope that the latter would retain power in the elections held on June 16 when no confidence motion was finally passed.
Sources said what helped the Jammu chapter of the BJP was support from some of the party leaders of the Kashmir chapter, who had already been against the previous mayor and had long been looking ahead for his ouster.
Sources said the differences have grown to the level that even after the ouster of the previous mayor, some of the BJP leaders from Kashmir have written a formal complaint to the government seeking probe into allegations of corruption in the SMC.
It was reliably learnt that leaders of the Kashmir chapter held meeting at their Jawarhar Nagar office where it was unanimously decided that none of them should extend any further support to the previous mayor nor should any of the BJP leaders continue personal contact with him.
“We’re united for the cause of Srinagar,” said a BJP leader on the condition of anonymity.
Despite repeated attempts the said BJP leader who is accused of having been close to the previous mayor couldn’t be contacted for comments. |
