Early Times Report
Jammu, May 15
If the present alliance NC-Congress proved beneficial to both partners or not is the million dollar question at present in political spheres which think that the leadership of the both parties may go for soul searching if it was fruitful for them or not.
But what the question to which the National Conference leadership will be looking for the reply is- if party’s decision of not fielding its candidate on certain constituencies to carry forward the ‘Coalition Dharma’ was right or wrong for the party.
It needs to mention here that under the agreement between the Congress and the National Conference the latter was allowed to field its candidates in the three constituencies in the Kashmir valley and the former contested the two seats in Jammu and one in Ladakh.
If the National Conference wins all the three seats in the valley it will indicate that its alliance with the Congress has proved beneficial and in other case it means no change in the NC's political stakes.
In last Parliamentary Polls 2004 NC won two seats viz Srinagar and Baramullah but lost Anantnag seat to first Mufti Sayeed and then to his daughter Mehbooba Mufti in bye polls. At the same time the Congress too is passing through the same situation if it wins all three seats it would denote that its alliance with NC has been quite fruitful.
If it fails to repeat its position in 2004 when it claimed both Parliamentary seats in Jammu during alliance with the PDP then it means things went wrong and if it enhances its tally then the NC Congress alliance is a success . In case the PDP wins two seats in the Kashmir valley it means that parting ways with the Congress has yielded dividends for the PDP.
There are indications that neither the Congress-NC alliance nor any other party will be able to bag all the six seats. The PDP leaders optimistically say that the party will win all the three seats in the valley the NC leadership is sure of its success in Srinagar and Baramullah besides Ladakh, where it had lent indirect support to an independent candidate, Ghulam Hassan Khan. As far as the two seats in Jammu are concerned both the BJP and the Congress keep their fingers crossed
