In yet another jolt to the ruling National Conference (NC), MLC and its senior leader Shiekh Ghulam Rasool Wednesday resigned from the party. Shiekh is likely to join Peoples’ Democratic Party within a few days, sources said.
In his resignation letter, addressed to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah who is also working president of the NC, former state chief secretary said, “As the party affairs in Ganderbal have deteriorated and people alienated I could not accept the party mandate to contest election in Ganderbal offered by Dr Farooq and you through senior party leaders few days back.”
Sheikh, in the letter has expressed his disappointment over being “ignored” by the National Conference during last six years. “During your stewardship of past six years, I again did not get occasion even of consultative nature either in state affairs or in Ganderbal matters, organizational or administrative. I however discharged my functions as MLC by close contact with the people of Ganderbal and field workers of party by intensive and regular tour and mass contact,” Sheikh said.
He added that he is of the considered opinion that it is time for him to disassociate himself completely from the party. “Accordingly I resign from the primary membership of the party and as a member of the central working committee,” reads the resignation letter.
Sources said that Sheikh will soon announce his formal entry in PDP.
