From Kashmir to Kishtwar, PDP-NC lock horns in DDC elections 12/16/2020 11:24:58 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Dec 16: The National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party candidates are contesting elections against each other in Kishtwar, mocking at the claims of the unity of twin parties in the so called Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration. Sources said the two of the prominent faces of the PDP and NC in Kishtwar are contesting the ongoing District Development Council elections against each other. Sources said both the leaders didn’t listen to the party whip on who should contest the DDC elections. “A lot of efforts were made by the respective parties to convince their leaders not to contest against each other but that none of them listened and in fact actually threatened of a rebellion if they were forced on any such issue,” the sources said. It is second such major embarrassment for the PDP and NC in the going DDC elections. Previously candidates of the two parties contested from Rawal Pora area in the summer capital of Srinagar. Sources said both the parties are helpless as their candidates are “unwilling to listen to the party high commands”. Political pundits look at the development as the deepening of cracks in the PAGD which otherwise claims to be “united for the cause of Kashmir.” “When a party has no control over its own cadre, the overall performance of the party can only be imagined,” said a senior politician on the condition of anonymity. Sources said the traditional rivalry between the once arch rivals, which is the NC and the PDP, has been a major cause of divide in PAGD. “Cadres of both the parties are unwilling to be united and this the major defeat for the Gupkar lobby,” said a political observer. It is pertinent to mention that the PAGD members have been silent over their candidates fighting against each other elections despite massive troll on the social media. Despite repeated attempts the leaders of both the parties were not available for comments.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
