| Defeat of Sham, Shakti: Warning signals for BJP’s ex-ministers | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 23: Despite strong wave in favour of the party in Jammu province, defeat of two former ministers of BJP is a warning signal for those party leaders who enjoyed the PDP by bartering wishes and aspirations of the people of Jammu region.
Two former ministers of BJP, Sham Lal Choudhary and Shakti Raj Parihar had contested District Development Councils (DDCs) elections but both of them lost. Parihar had contested on two seats but failed to emerge victorious on any of the two.
Although BJP’s stalwart Sham Lal Choudhary lost election by a narrow margin of only 11 votes, his defeat is an indication of people’s anger against former ministers who had failed to assert when Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and Mehbooba Mufti were chief ministers of J&K.
Two times Legislator and a former minister Sham Lal Choudhary has lost his bastion with a margin of mere 11 votes to an independent candidate Taranjit Singh Tony.
Almost all former BJP ministers in the BJP-PDP coalition regime have lost credibility due to their actions and their alleged involvement in the corrupt practices. People of Jammu have voted for BJP but they appear to be annoyed with former ministers of the party who had meekly and shamelessly surrendered before Mehbooba Mufti just for power.
Although BJP managed to win eight out of the total 14 seats from Doda, party’s former minister Shakti Parihar lost from both the seats from where he contested. In Gundna, Parihar lost to Asim Hashmi of NC while in Marmat, he lost to Mushtaq Ahmed of Congress. |
