| Winning DDC candidates abandoning PAGD | | Apni Party set to spring a surprise | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 27: Most of the independent candidates, who won the recently held District Development Council (DDC) elections, mulling to join the newly formed Apni Party led by Altaf Bukhari seems to have upset the plans of the Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration—an amalgam of Kashmir centric parties—to call the shots.
According to the media reports besides the independents, many PAGD candidates too are in touch with the Apni Party leadership. A few have already joined the JKAP while others too are likely to follow the suit.
Sources told Early Times that the PAGD top leadership being at loggerheads with each other over different issues has disillusioned the winners of the DDC polls and many of them have realized that they won’t be able to do anything much if they stick with the PAGD. “Since the day DDC election results have been declared the PAGD leaders are trying to project the victory as an achievement of their individual parties rather than it being a collective effort,” sources added.
They said, “It appears that the PAGD is on the crossroads as alliance partners have not been able to form a consensus on many issues.”
Apni Party chief Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari while talking to an online portal has claimed that his party is likely to form the DDC boards in at least six districts in J&K.
An analyst said, “The PAGD leaders are unable to digest the fact that the people who contested the elections on their tickets are abandoning them for one or other reason. They are crying foul and are blaming the administration for their candidates running away. But the fact is that the infighting between the PAGD has brought to fore the cracks within the amalgam. It appears that Gupkar alliance is a failed experiment and its leaders have not been to keep the flock together.” |
