| Bashing by Azad, Cong criticism leaves NC fuming…. | | Strains in alliance partners ties….? | | early times report
Jammu, May 21: Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown…..no one else than the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah knows it better in the present coalition dispensation where the allies of late have intensified veiled and direct attacks against each other. Post Congress delegate convention the allies NC and Congress are once again stretching apart with ties having become fragile and grouse louder. The ties have assumed all time low and strenuous to the extent that normal rapport and coordination in routine works of governance has been impacted.
Sources within the ruling National Conference said party high command has taken serious note of the criticism against NC and its leadership which emanated not only from the delegate session but on the sidelines of the convention when Ghulam Nabi Azad and his cohorts made scathing attack against the coalition, targeting Chief Minister particularly over the GB Pant Hospital crisis for not having taken timely remedial measures. Azad has hit out at the state government mainly over the fact when facilities were granted from Central Government and Union health Ministry why it failed to take advantage which would have enabled save a many innocent lives.
Sources said while NC high Command has chosen to maintain silence and not retaliate to the accusations and criticism from the Congress leaders and Azad in particular, the second line leadership in the party , including firebrand minister Ali Mohammad Sagar , party's additional general secretary Shiekh Mustafa Kamal have reacted , albeit in low tone and tenor to the bold Congress criticism this time. Mustafa Kamal, as always has dismissed the Congress criticism of coalition led by his nephew CM Omar Abdullah , as uncalled for. The hard talk of Mustafa Kamal reaction is that this doesn't behove well of Congress as it is the partner of the coalition government.
Sources said NC leaders have been feeling perturbed over the way Congress and its top leaders as well as many delegates aired at the Convention and they are looking at it as a part of the party strategy to pull down the NC and its young Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and malign its image on the political front that too in Kashmir Valley where it matters most. Sources said even though the top leadership is silent over the way Congress has started asserting on matters but they see it as part of the Congress strategy to call shots and build pressure on the party to manage things their way and at the same time consolidate party position in Kashmir Valley which matter most for them in the next Assembly elections scheduled in 204. Whether the strains developed between the alliance partners will dilute with time, as seen on many occasions in the past, or this time is to stay longer or assume proportions, undesirable for both the parties, remains to be seen.
