Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday said her party will field candidates from all the three constituencies of the Kashmir valley, ending any chances of a pre-poll alliance within the Congress-led INDIA bloc.
“Mr. Omar [Abdullah of the National Conference] believes the PDP doesn’t exist anywhere. The way Mr. Omar spoke about PDP has anguished my workers, who are not in favour of supporting the NC at this juncture. The consultation is going on and the announcement with regard to the candidates in Kashmir seats will be made soon,” Ms. Mufti said.
She said the BJP “dismantled her party by taking away senior leaders”. “I was left with my workers, who have been disheartened and disappointed by the comments of Mr. Omar Abdullah,” Ms. Mufti said. “The rest depends on the Kashmiri people to whom they want their voices to be heard in the Parliament,” she added.
