| Facing embarrassment, AAP ‘crumbling like pack of cards’ in JK | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 16: Facing alleged embarrassment through charges of multi crore scams in the national capital and “inability to attract any big faces” into the party folds in Jammu and Kashmir, the Aam Aadmi Party is “crumbling like a pack of cards” in J&K ahead of the much awaited Assembly elections.
Sources said in the wake of numerous allegations against the AAP leadership in the national capital, the leaders from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s Jammu and Kashmir unit have started tendering resignations, mainly to extend support to former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad. It was reliably learnt that over 50 workers of the AAP from Udhampur resigned in a day alone while the total number of the party cadres to have parted ways in the last around a fortnight alone is over 200.
Recently senior politician Ashwini Khajuria while quitting the AAP told media that in the last three months, the party had changed the regional leadership at least thrice and that the regional cadres were being put to “screening tests again and again.”
It’s for the second time in the last less than a decade, that the AAP even “before opening its account of any significant democratic victory in Jammu and Kashmir is at the verge of collapse again.”
In 2014 parliament elections, the AAP had fielded its candidates even from Kashmir province, but while none of them could win, their candidate against former Chief Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah from Srinagar constituency had left the party soon after the defeat in the elections.
In Kashmir province, whereas in the month of April, some of the corporators from the Urban local bodies had joined the Aam Aadmi Party in the national capital, many of them are understood to have left the AAP.
“AAP has been using the leadership in Jammu and Kashmir as use and throw material otherwise why will be a senior politician be forced to the quit the party within few months,” alleged a politician who recently quit AAP due to “high handedness of the ‘superior’ leaders”.
Sources said the AAP leadership has been “unable to rope in even a single prominent face in Kashmir”, while as the party looks ahead to contest the much-awaited Assembly elections in J&K.
Observers said the AAP was more of hype about the “honesty and good governance” as the ED raids on its leadership in Delhi exposed everything.
Despite repeated attempts, the AAP leadership was not available for comments. |
