As the ruling national conference Tuesday announced its first list of candidates for the upcoming assembly elections, the political observers stated that the option for the pre-poll alliance with its coalition partner Congress has been kept open.
The list issued by the senior party leadership on Tuesday indicated that only those areas in both Kashmir and Jammu province have been given to the NC leaders that are not controlled by the Congress legislators. Dooru and Kokernag is still open while as Noorabad from South Kashmir has been given to Miss Sakina Ittoo. In the same way, Kishtwar was given to Sajad A Kitchloo but no candidate was nominated from other assembly segments of the region controlled by the Congress.
NC on Monday had stated that the final call over the issue would be taken within few days and that the hectic deliberations are going on over the issue. Also it stated that no final decision over entering into pre-poll alliance with its ally Congress has been taken so far and that the party president will make the final announcement over the issue.
NC senior leader Dr Mustafa Kamal maintained that the party president has been authorized by the party leadership to take final call over the issue. “Only he can take the decision whether we should have alliance with the Congress or go alone in the polls. As far as the general view is concerned both the senior leaders of NC and Congress have made it clear that coming elections should be contested separately.”
Kamal maintained further that Dr Farooq has already been appraised over the views and opinions of the party workers over the pre-poll issue and everything shall be taken into consideration before taking the final call. (KNS)
