| Mehbooba vows to retain party’s political space | | PDP’s 23rd foundation day | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 28: As almost all senior leaders have abandoned the party after enjoying power, former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is fighting alone to retain PDP’s space in the politics of Jammu and Kashmir.
On November 2, 2002 when Mufti Mohammad Sayeed had taken oath as Chief Minister of the erstwhile state of J&K his party, the PDP had created history by attaining power within a period of just three-year, after its formation.
PDP was founded by Mufti Sayeed along with a dozen of his loyalists on July 28, 1999 and the party had achieved power by the end of the year 2002. Despite having 16 MLA in his kitty Mufti became Chief Minister of coalition with Congress, having 20 seats.
Not only PDP’s rise in the politics of J&K was unprecedented its downfall is also ‘extraordinary’ because within a span of just three-year the party is on the ‘verge of extinction’.
Except for Mehbooba Mufti and Abdul Rehman Veeri all other associates of Mufti Sayeed have left the party.
Co-founder of PDP and former Deputy Chief Minister of J&K Muzaffar Hussain Beigh had resigned from the party on November 14, 2020.
There is long list of prominent leaders who have resigned from the party. Former Finance Minister and one of the founder members of the party Tariq Hamid Karra had resigned from PDP on September 16, 2016.
After breaking PDP-BJP alliance on June 19, 2018, senior leaders were appeared to be in a hurry to say good-bye to the party.
In the month of June, 2018 , PDP had five MPs (three Lok Sabha, two Rajya Sabha members) 28 MLAs and 14 MLCs in its kitty. There was also a strong grass-root level organization structure of the party at that time but as of now only a couple of former legislators are left within the party.
At this point of time when former PDP leader and president of the Jammu-Kashmir Apni Party Altaf Bukhari and Sajjad Lone of Peoples’ Conference are working to rope in leaders from other parties, Mehbooba Mufti is battling alone to retain space of her party in the politics of J&K. |
