Cong fight each other in open
A bitter parting gift
SRINAGAR: The National Conference-Congress alliance is likely to end on a bitter note as the coalition partners are trading accusations against each other for mis-governance of the government.
As Assembly elections are coming nearer, all the mainstream politicians have geared up for the upcoming polls, starting from November 25.
As Assembly elections are coming nearer, all the mainstream politicians have geared up for the upcoming polls, starting from November 25.
However, the alliance partners, NC and Congress have started taking each other as the six-year term of the 87 Assembly ends on January 19, 2015. The leaders of the alliance partners are indulging in mudslinging by blaming each other for the “mis-governance” of the Omar Abdullah led government of the State.
After senior Congress leader and former Minister Sham Lal Sharma blamed the NC ministers for sabotaging the regularization of casual labourers, another party leader Abdul Gani Vakil while taking on coalition partner termed Omar Abdullah most “incompetent” chief minister of the State.
“Omar Abdullah has failed to address the issues of the people of the State. He has no vision and is the most incompetent chief minister of J&K,” Vakil told The Kashmir Monitor.
He said the Omar Abdullah led government has failed to rehabilitate the flood victims of the State.
He said if Congress will come into the power, it will address these issues of the people. “So we need a dynamic person like Ghulam Nabi Azad to lead the State not Omar Abdullah, who is Chief Minister but without vision,” the Congress leader said.
He said the equal development of all regions, employment generation, tourism and horticulture would be the top priority of the Congress party.
Another Congress leader Sham Lal Sharma admitted that lack of coordination between the coalition partners hit governance in the past six-years.
He claimed that Congress had always put up legitimate issues of people of the State that were sabotaged by the NC.
He alleged the two NC ministers also created hurdles in regularization of casual workers in the PHE department and wanted to manipulate the regularization lists to benefit their blue-eyed men.
While as Additional General Secretary of the ruling NC, Mustafa Kamal hit back at its coalition partner, saying Congress leaders hatched a conspiracy to weaken the Omar Abdullah government.
“Omar Abdullah never got the support from the leaders of the Congress party that was supposed to get in the coalition and are now blaming NC and to gain the political milage in the Assembly polls,” Kamal said.
He said staying in coalition was a compulsion and people are well aware about the sincerity of the Omar Abdullah’s leadership.
The alliance between the ruling parties started crumbling after both parties drew blank in the Parliamentary polls and blamed each other for the humiliating defeat. The alliance partners have also snapped the ties that had continued amid bickering ever since it came into force in 2008 and decided to contest Assembly polls separately.
