Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Sunday disclosed that his father and party president Dr Farooq Abdullah will not be contesting the upcoming assembly polls.
Talking to a local news agency, KNS, Omar Abdullah maintained that the health condition of his father is not allowing him to contest the assembly elections. “No, Dr Sahib is not contesting this time. His health is not allowing him to contest the polls.”
When asked whether the government would continue to function despite the coalition partners deciding to end alliance, chief minister maintained that the decision will have no affect on the functioning of the government and that the government will continue to run till the elections in the state are announced. “We have to understand that this coalition came into existence after the elections. There will be no impact on the government functioning and the coalition will continue to function till the assembly elections are announced in the state. Besides preparing for the coming elections, we will continue to run the state of affairs in Jammu and Kashmir. Later we will present services before the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”
The chief minister stated that during the recently held parliamentary polls in Jammu and Kashmir, national conference transferred the votes in the favour of Congress at Jammu region but contrary was witnessed in valley. “It is quite obvious; NC didn’t get the Congress votes in valley. If votes would have been transferred, the situation today would have been different,” Omar told said.
He added that if alliance ahead of polls would have been forged with the Congress, the same would have caused much damage to NC. “If the things of the past would have been repeated in the assembly elections, the same could have caused damage. Now both the parties will contest the elections separately. Let us see who performs better. Good thing about the decision is that we would not witness further damage.”
When asked about the reports that his party remains indecisive over the constituency wherefrom he would contest, Omar stated that the list is coming to fore in the near future and that the people would come to know wherefrom he would fight. “We should wait till the list comes out; only then people will come to know wherefrom I am fighting.”
