SRINAGAR, Apr 3: The PDP and the National Conference<\/a> \u2014 the two INDIA bloc partners in Jammu and Kashmir \u2014 will be taking on each other on the three Lok Sabha<\/a> seats in the valley.
\nMehbooba Mufti-led PDP accused National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah<\/a> of leaving them \u201dno option\u201dAbdullah, however, hit back saying the PDP was going back on the understanding reached between the constituents of People\u2019s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration<\/a> (PAGD) for the District Development Council (DDC) elections in 2020.
\nMufti told reporters here that the NC has left her party with no other option other than to contest the election on the three Lok Sabha seats in Kashmir.
\n\u201dThey (NC) have left no option for us other than to field candidates and contest the elections,\u201d Mufti said.
\nThe party\u2019s parliamentary board would take a final call on the candidates, she added.
\nWhile holding talks with the Congress on seat-sharing in J-K, the NC had made it clear that they will be contesting the three valley seats as they had won these in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
\nThe NC left two seats in Jammu for the Congress as part of the INDIA<\/a> bloc\u2019s seat-sharing agreement.
\nMufti said the need of the hour for the political parties in Jammu and Kashmir was to remain united after the Centre revoked the erstwhile state\u2019s special status in August 2019.
\n\u201dYouth are in jails, we cannot raise our voices, even the family members of employees cannot say anything. There is an atmosphere of oppression here. So, in such an atmosphere, it is imperative for us to stand united,\u201d she said.
\nThe former J-K chief minister, however, said the attitude of the NC leadership was disappointing and hurtful.
\n\u201dWhen the INDI alliance\u2019s meeting took place in Mumbai, I said there that since (NC president) Farooq Abdullah is our senior leader, he will take a decision (on seat-sharing) and will do justice. I had hoped he would keep the party interests aside,\u201d she said.
\nBut the NC took the decision to contest all the three seats in Kashmir unilaterally, she added.
\nMufti said if the NC had approached her and consulted the PDP before announcing the decision, her party could have decided not to field candidates in the larger interests of Kashmir.
\n\u201dBut, the way Omar (Abdullah) announced the decision without taking us into confidence, and by saying that the PDP has no workers or support so they will not get a single seat, it hurt my workers and broke their hearts,\u201d she added.
\nShe was referring to Omar Abdullah\u2019s March 8 press conference in which he announced that the NC would contest from all three seats in the valley and will not leave any for its INDIA bloc partner the PDP.
\nAbdullah, on his part, said he had not \u201dmade any remarks about her party and, therefore, I have nothing to say on this\u201d. The PDP was going back on the understanding reached for the DDC polls where the parties having won the seats would field their candidates, he said.
\n\u201dWhat can I say about this? It is their own will. How can I stop them? We announced candidates for the three seats of Kashmir based on their own formula,\u201d the former chief minister of J-K said.
\nWhen the DDC elections took place, the NC had asked the PDP that seat-sharing should be done on the basis of the results of the 2109 parliamentary elections but the latter did not accept that, Omar Abdullah said.
\n\u201dThey told us that the candidates will be decided on the basis of the 2014 assembly polls. The decision was made that whoever had won the assembly seat will contest from that seat. So, in this parliamentary poll, the same formula was applied. Wherefrom we had won, we decided to field candidates,\u201d he added.
\nAbdullah said since there was no scope for seat sharing with the PDP in the parliamentary polls, \u201dwe would keep a scope for the assembly elections\u201d.
\n\u201dBut, now if Mehbooba Mufti has decided to contest on all seats, then perhaps she does not want an alliance for the assembly polls as well. In that case, I cannot say anything. We had kept the doors open, but if they are closing those doors, it is not our fault,\u201d he added.
\nOn DPAP founder Ghulam Nabi Azad entering the fray for Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat, Abdullah said he was surprised.
\n\u201dI am quite surprised that Azad has chosen to fight from Anantnag-Rajouri-Poonch. I would have thought that if he is keen to enter Parliament, he should have fought from his bastion, his strength in Chenab valley. I would have thought he would have fought the Udhampur seat.
\n\u201dThe fact that he is not fighting from Udhampur and that he is fighting from Anantnag-Rajouri-Poonch, clearly there is (something) more than meets the eye,\u201d he said.
\nOmar Abdullah said he cannot say anything about the reason and under what pressure did Azad come to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Anantnag.
\nHe said the NC has fielded the best and strongest candidate in Mian Altaf Ahmad.
\n\u201dWhoever is contesting against him, we hope Altaf will win with a thumping majority,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
